Most people lived and still live in their local town now they use the word"community"
People know the local officials and the local officials know them. They go to the local church or synagogue or mosque, shop at the same stores and work in the same office or go to the same school. In fact this is so strong a bond that one one pol, Tip O'neill said "all politics is local"
Think about it. The TV news may yell about what President Trump or former President Obama did. BUT, if the garbage is not picked up or the snow not cleared or a pot hole not fixed, it is the local pols are gonna hear about it
The smell or the ice THAT affects YOU!!!!
We have the power to control a lot:...Dont like guns? Move to Brooklyn, under the Sullivan act only cops and the "boys" have guns.
Want to enjoy a very open gay lifestyle? Move to the Village.
Want to enjoy the sea? Move to the beach.
Like being independent ? Perhaps Alaska?
So local power is people power. As a general rule a pol must start his or her career local that is done for a reason. If your neighbors wont vote for ya? Who will? ( I know that there are exceptions but the rule is still the rule)
Tomorrow the "STATE"
