Ep. 056: How American Municipalities Can Flourish And What’s Holding Them Back

May 16, 2023

 

Mark Moses has provided finance-related management and consulting services to local government agencies since 2011 after spending two decades working directly for municipal agencies in senior-level finance and administrative management positions. He joins Garrett today on Forgotten America to discuss an area of political life that is often forgotten, overlooked, and dismissed: municipal finance.

 

Each of us is often most aware of national politics, and when it comes to certain issues, we may pay attention to our state legislatures. But how many of us keep an eye on what the level of government closest to us is doing? Mark & Garrett discuss how the sprawling missions of towns, cities, and municipalities can negatively affect the lives of those who form these communities. I think you’ll be surprised just how much city hall impacts your life.
