Function Of Local Government

Rubesh Phaiju Professor Sherry Sharifian GOVT 2306-71003 28 November 2017 Committees Texas House of Representative consists of many committees which are working for the development of society and the people. Some of the committees which I would consider, if elected are Opioids & Substance Abuse Select Committee, Business & Industry Committee and Economic & Small Business Development Committee.

Texas is the second most populous state as well as the second largest state in the United States of America (Brown, Langenegger, Garcia, Lewis, & Biles, 2014). With a huge number of people currently calling Texas their home, it would make sense to draw the conclusion that the Texas government must make this state a great place to live by serving its citizens to the best of its abilities. However, it is best not to make assumptions and in order to ascertain whether the local government actually fulfills this role we must look at multiple aspects of the government.

Amaya 2 Marlene M. Amaya Professor Sharifian GOVT-2306-73011 5 May 2018 The Committees I will be discussing the three committees that I would potentially serve in the Texas House and Senate; should I be elected for the position and or positions. There are several committees in the Texas House and the Senate that all play a significant role in the services and aid provided to the residents of each state; particularly speaking when it comes to the state of Texas. I will explain the functions of each committee and why my placement in such committees are justified. Additionally, the reason it serves my district’s needs, and how it emphasizes my experience and interests. As well as, the constituent service I would be most inclined to do, the type

Next, we review the structure and content of the current Texas constitution. Of special concern here is the length, detail and overall organization (or disorganization, as some critics might have it) of the fundamental plan of state government and cornerstone of state law. We then turn attention to what the constitution says about local governments (counties and municipalities). The framers of the constitution had a lot to say about these local governments, and the way they specified their organization and function directly affects the communities we call home.

Amit Sharma Paudyal Prof. Sharifian GOVT 2306 17 Nov. 2017 Committees of Texas House of Representatives After winning the election, there are many committees which we can serve. As a Texas House of Representative, I would like to serve on committees related to Higher Education, Transportation, and Public Health.

Sadiksha Shrestha Professor Sherry Sharifian GOVT-2306-71001 26 Sept. 2017 I am running for Texas State Senate from District 16 for the upcoming election. For 2014 Texas State Senate election the candidates were Don Huffines and Mike Dooling. There were no representatives from my party for the election of 2014, hence this year I have decided to represent my political party to serve the people of Texas. Mike Dooling was an amazing candidate, who is a libertarian representative, but he did not appear for the general election. Don Huffines won the general election without any opposition. The map of our district was gerrymandered to benefit some special groups. For this election, I would like to stand up against Senator Huffines to

Texas might be a small-government state, but it is a proud and stubbornly independent one. With the 84th legislature imposing state will on local policies, politicians of all sorts are unhappy. Regardless, there are arguments both for and against local control, and overall, they have the public’s best interests at heart.

The Texas senate passed bill to control oil and gas companies activity, but the governor Greg Abbot is not letting to veto the bill. Even the Texas legislation has decided not to take care of community’s’ people. Also, they don’t have right to protect them. They only take care of money but, not the health of people. This is not only the problems of today’s. Infect, this problem is coming from ancient time. This problem is called the long tradition problem. Per the article by Texans for public justice reported that, “the energy and natural resources industries were the number one financial contributors to non-judicial Texas politicians in 2014.”it also states that 31 Texas senators earn nearly $ 60,000 for each person and 144 Texas representatives earn $ 25,000 each. The oil and gas industries are the economic sources. It proves that state of government only take care of finance and they oil and gas interest, but not the health of public. This statement proves that they control over local government.

In the United States of America, the Republican Party is the party that promotes limited government involvement when it comes to the business aspects of government; however, when it comes to an individual’s personal life, rights and beliefs, the Republican Party’s philosophy of limited government is hypocritical in some aspects. Nevertheless, in the business world, Texas Legislature philosophy advocates for the civil liberties of its people, believing that everyone deserves the opportunity to excel in their State with limited government interference. Furthermore, Texas Legislature philosophy advocates limited government that works on an as needed basis. Case-in-point, the Texas Legislature functions under a biennial system that last 140 days

Shishir Acharya Professor Sharifian GOVT 2306-71003 December 1, 2017 Texas House and State Committee Texas is one of the states forming United States of America and it is one of the largest state in terms of its population and the total geographical area. The local government has been divided into county government, municipal government and special districts. Texas has been divided into house districts and senate districts. The house of representatives and the house of senate plays a crucial role in deliberating on issues specific to a given department.

It is important to study the policy making and government in Texas, because it gives you a better understanding of the policy cycle and how it works. Texas government is profoundly important to the lives of Texas residents, regardless of differences, ages, backgrounds, and careers. Politics is the process that determines who shall occupy each role of leadership in government and how the power of government should be exercised. This is why it is important to vote when you turn eight-teen. You should vote for the best candidate that you think will make the best decisions for our state. Although the policy making cycle that the government uses to solve an issue is not perfect, it is important to learn it, because their decisions can either benefit

In Political Science, students will learn various topics on how governments run and on how Texas government runs.

According to a recent poll, 70 percent of Texas residents say that they are proud of their state and rank it among the best places to live. One of the most striking features about the poll was that the residents of the Lone Star State ranked their trust in local and state government significantly higher than 88 percent of residents in all other states (Aasen, 20014). The Texas legislature is so efficient in its tasks that it meets less than any other legislature in the United States. Coming from a Southeastern state, this trust in government is a concept that is quite unfamiliar to me.

Texas has been a booming success in recent years, even weathering the Great Recession in 2007-2008. Employment growth and businesses moving to Texas because of its low taxes, pro-business environment, and limited government have contributed to Texas’s rise to the financial top. These are factors that should be considered when trying to improve the United States government and economic system. Author of The Texas Model: Prosperity in the Lone Star State and Lessons for America, seasoned political consultant, Chuck DeVore provides guidelines for the United States government to operate similarly to the ways of Texas government. DeVore has established his credibility with various political positions. He was a special assistant for foreign
