Village of Carpentersville President Bill Sarto demands that his chief political opponent, Paul Humpher, be removed from office for being convicted of beating his wife, and due for sentencing. When trustees Ed Ritter, Kay Teeter, Judy Sigwalt, and Keith Hinz refuse to allow a motion for discusssing the issue — Bill Sarto loses all control. He screams at his fellow board members, calls one a “convict”, says another trustee’s son commits adultery, and ends his speech with what other board members take as a death threat. Recorded April 1, 2008, at the Village of Carpentesville Hall. (NOT an April Fool’s Joke!)

Question by big_scott_larock: What kind of incentives does the federal government offer to local governments to use renewable energy sources?
I’d like my town to build a wind farm. However, I know how local governments can be when it comes to paying for new projects. Will the federal government help defray some of the costs, if the city decides to build it?

Why not privatize the project? Get a private investor.

New Book Shows Taxpayers How To “FOLLOW THE MONEY” of Local Government













Great Barrington, MA (Vocus) November 16, 2010

The recent elections show that Americans — of all political stripes — are extremely concerned about where their tax dollars are going. The American Institute for Economic Research (AIER) is encouraging them to extend their “watchdog” role by getting more involved and learning all they can about local government budgeting — the area of government where they can have the most impact, and which impacts them the most.

Although many citizens don’t know where to begin, getting involved is easier than most think, especially with AIER’s new handbook: FOLLOW THE MONEY: A Citizen’s Guide to Local Government.

The practical, tip-filled book explains that getting involved in local budget issues when the budgeting process begins, rather than on the eve of the final vote, enables citizens to truly influence how their local revenues are raised and how tax dollars are spent.

Knowing where and how to obtain budget information; how to read and interpret the numbers; how to identify critical public needs and set government priorities; what questions to ask and how to interact with public officials on fiscal matters are all part of what makes the AIER book a practical roadmap for having an impact at the local level.

Printed copies of the book can be purchased for $ 10 — or a PDF of the text can be downloaded from the institute’s web site for $ 5.

What’s certain is that with the right planning, citizens can hold local governments accountable and can ensure that local officials are prepared for hard economic times when they are hit by rising costs and declining tax revenues. Otherwise, municipalities could face bankruptcy, like Gould, Arkansas, Millport and Pritchard, Alabama, Westfall Township, Pennsylvania, and Vallejo, California, all of which are operating under bankruptcy protection today. Several others, including Detroit and Harrisburg — Pennsylvania’s state capital — have been flirting with bankruptcy.

“While local government most impacts the daily lives of Americans, it is the level of government to which most people pay the least attention,” said FOLLOW THE MONEY author Lynndee Kemmet, an AIER Visiting Research Fellow who received her MPA while working as a local government reporter in Southern California.

“It’s also the level of government they can most influence,” she points out. “It is our hope that FOLLOW THE MONEY will help.”

Copies of FOLLOW THE MONEY can be ordered by phone at 888-528-1216. Online orders can be placed by going to http://www.aier.org .

Q: How responsive is local government to the needs and requests of their citizens? A: Local government, especially in towns like Westport, is very responsive to the needs and requests of its citizens. Support: An in-depth example of how responsive local government is to the needs and requests of its citizens can be seen through Westports RTM meetings. -Broadcast through local TV network (channel 78) so those who cannot attend the meeting can watch and be informed from home. -Open-attendance: local citizens are permitted and encouraged to attend these meetings, to become informed with up-to-date analysis on local, federal, and international affairs. -Open-voice: citizens are encouraged to speak up during meetings, either to suggest a new policy or comment on a current proposal, etc. (those who cannot attend may send in comments via email to the local government site online). -Plans, schedules, announcements, and agendas are available either at town hall or can be easily accessed on the government site. -Suggestions, comments, plans proposed by the citizens or Westport go through serious consideration by the RTM board. Discussion is held, and often, many official Westport plans/agendas get processed very quickly. – Our perception of a mere local government has changed drastically. From what first seemed like an insignificant association, we now realize that the local government indeed plays an integral part of the national government and has great potential in influencing

Precisely 774 Local Governments exists today in Nigeria but it doubtful indeed if these local governments have lived up to expectations in the development of our country Nigeria. Three tier of government as inherited from the British have come under heavy criticisms from the citizens of Nigeria some of who are now angrily suggesting that the three tier of government be expunged from the nation’s system of government.

                                                                                                                           

A new and sad dimension in the elections of officers into the third tier have just begun, and it would seem that this government at the local levels have inherited from its sisterly federal arm of government the art of selection of candidates and political officers into positions. What happened in Lagos State clearly points to the fact that who should rule in the grass root government was absolutely a decision to be determined by the ruling party or reigning state government. Firstly, the road to the said election of officers for the Local Government began with the handpicking of candidates with absence of any known criteria in the party membership of Action Congress (AC) Action Congress became a model in this business.

No primaries were held, yet party representatives emerged from the blues and honourably defeated all other contestants. Sadly again, we the electorates did not who the candidates whom we had the option of voting for but suddenly began to see posters all around the walls of Lagos, funnily after first sets of posters of campaigners have been seen. We therefore began to wonder who the legitimate candidates of Action Congress were. It amount to the 8th wonder of the modern world if the results of the elections held is pointing to the fact that every of the candidates of Action Congress were acceptable to the generality of Lagosians and in all the localities not minding whether these candidates were known or not.

In the end announcements were made that Action Congress had swept councillorship and chairmanship positions available in the state. The pressmen who were at the event to cover this report and probably the Attorney General of the Federation can tell us more on the event. What this portends for democracy at the grass roots is better imagined than explained here for we all know perfectly well that Lagos serves as a model for all the states of the federation and an idea of emergence of candidates without primaries and candidates of any particular political party winning every available positions could be emulated much to our chagrin.

This brings us to the question of the relevance of the Local Government in Nigeria, time may not permit to delve into its functions as provided for by the constitution of the nation but the sincere ones among us can definitely tell that not one of any Local Government in existence in the country today can boast of making wholesome achievements in this regard. At best, the best vibrant Local Government Area in Lagos is set at seeking every means of extracting the residents of the state in the name of taxation without ever giving back to them.

Once caught on any road as a motorist in the state, what the very first information issued to you is go pay this form of tax for three years and come back for discussions pertaining to your vehicle, the main reason you have been nabbed right or wrong. One is also expected to pay tax even for the air he breaths in Lagos but the question is what do we get back from the Local Governments?

The status of certain settlements in the state are even confusing, for Festac and Satellite town made to sit under two different Local Governments in the state, analysts have the time have wondered whether Festac town posses Federal, State or Local Government status such that should warrant the payment of tenement rates, market rates and other forms of taxes. There are no cemeteries to repair or take care in the town to take care of, no provision of drinkable water, lights are not provided by either the state or the Local Governments yet the people are forcefully put under the oath of tax payment. No single court exists at the local level in the town. The maintenance of the Estate is not carried out by either the federal, state or Local Government yet the headquarters of the Amuwo Odofin Local Government is located in the town.

The Estate has some of the most deplorable roads in Lagos which now cannot be accessed during rainy seasons yet we are told we are under local government and need to pay our tenement rates and ground rents. This situation is very appalling to the residents of the Estate.

Local Governments have been described as money sharing ventures with no feasible purpose to carry out with nothing to show as there are lapses in administration worsened by lack of checks and balances. Many people in the country do not even know the counselors and chairpersons representing them, which is terrible.

The Federal Government should begin to take closer looks on this government at the grass roots and ensure that people at the rural areas benefit immensely with water, roads and other facilities, stringent efforts should also be made to articulate new and better means of carrying out elections at this level to effectively distribute fairness and equity to all the parties involved. Only these will answer whether the operation of Local Governments should be retained in the country.
