What do city and county governments do? (R.I.4.3)
In the text "The Maryland Adventure" on pages 298-301 there is a lot of information about our county and city governments job. First in the text on page 299 it said, "City and town governments often can chose which job they will do and which they will leave to the state government". Also in the text on page 300 it said that the government operate public schools, buy the books that schools and public library's use, put down and repair roads, plow when it snows, picks up our trash and recycles what they can, take care of local parks and organizes public sports. Lastly on page 301 it said, "taxes is money that we pay to the government" and that's the sales tax that we pay when we buy things at the store and other pay meant that we make. So as you can see the local governments does a lot of important jobs that help every one including children. |
