Maybe it is just old fogies that care about local politics.

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

I was reading a blog named Rebound. It is written by Sarah, a freshman at University of North Carolina. Sarah writes in part …

Local politics are BORING, its all local ordinances, trees, roads, signs and is rarely anything shocking…

Maybe it’s a cynical view, but how valuable is local news exactly? Does anyone really care what the town council has to say?

Sarah, Yoo Hoo, I care.

I care about the police department and what they do for the community. I care about the fire department and the protection they provide me. I care about where my poop ends up so it doesn’t harm the environment. I care about the electricity that powers the computer I am using this minute. There are many services provided by my city and county that I care about.

Maybe when Sarah grows up she will care…?
