Local Matters by Janice Allen Jackson

Local and state governments, though often overshadowed by federal government, have tremendous impact on our quality of life. This podcast provides a valuable service by educating people on how to improve their own quality of life through civic engagement.

It feels akin to hiring someone for a job without reviewing the job description. Local
