Local Government

In the spirit of my earlier post about making democracy work for the people, here are links to the websites of Cumberland and Franklin Counties. On their sites you can find the names and contact information of your elected officials, dates and times of public meetings, and links to municipal and township websites.

I also highly recommend checking out the website of the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund and the Daniel Pennock Democracy School. Even though their emphasis is on environmental issues, they have a lot to offer in regard to making government work for the people. Definitely check out their video about the democracy school on youtube, and, if you do a search on youtube, you'll find some additional footage of their democracy school.
