Do you know that voting in your local elections directly affects your daily life

Did you know that most government employees are employed by your state and local government.  This means that your state and local government is directly responsible for many things that directly affect you or someone in your family.  Here are just a few examples of those things:

• Education
• Public transit
• Police & Fire departments
• Public works
• Criminal Justice reforms
• Taxes

Because most local elections are decided by a few votes, low voter turnout can and will make a big difference in what passes into law and what doesn’t.  “Simply put, not voting is really voting for the other guy and giving up your voice”.

So you tell me, how important do you think voting in your local election is?
