How does local government affect us?

Did you know the ordinances passed by the Township Boards affects us daily, whereas laws and statutes passed by Washington D.C. Bureaucrats or in the Michigan state capitol may take months or even years to affect our lives?

Our local government - Township Boards, county commissioners, etc. - is the level of governance responsible for establishing the speed limit on the streets in your town, setting rules for business, industrial and residential development, funding the public schools and ensuring that there are adequate numbers of police and firefighters on duty. These representatives have a significant impact on our lives every day and it is important to ensure we have the best people in office.
