The structure of local government in gary
Paper instructions:
The first part of your paper should report on the structure of the general-purpose government of your city or town, including the responsibilities of elected and appointed officials. You may briefly discuss who influences decision making — whether it be elected officials, appointed members of boards and commissions, certain municipal staff, citizen groups, individual citizens, industry/business leaders etc. Give examples to support your conclusions about influences. Be sure to include the following:
(1) Which of the three basic governmental forms does your local government employ?
(2) You should list the several services the local government provides. You are required to attend a meeting of your general service government’s major legislative body as part of this assignment.
(3) Discuss what or who constitutes the executive, legislative and judicial branches of your general service government. Organizational charts are helpful. Write your paper as if you are describing the structure and services of your local government to a newcomer. For the first part of this paper, tell me about your local government.
