Government isn't Built for Speed

Welcome back to Local Government 101, season 2! This season is going to be a bit different.

Drawing on my background in Classics, journalism, and years of studying city government, I break down the challenges, trade-offs, and successes in short episodes. The U.S. system isn’t built for speed or perfection, but for balance: leaders, experts, and residents all share in the process. Government may be slow and complex, but that balance is its strength — and here, you’ll learn how it works and why it matters.
