Accountability

Content: For example, the local government will interview, test and hire public prosecutors for the district attorney's office, while the district attorney is an elected position within the government. Local government will also handle payroll, benefits, retirements and other administrative issues without asking the public to vote. Accountability
One of the best benefits local government can offer is accountability. Unlike private corporations, over which their individual customers have little control, each member of the community is able to vote on key administrators like the mayor or the city councilperson. This creates a need to offer the citizens services that are efficient and will serve their needs. Generally speaking, the more citizens use a public service, the more attention key administrators will give it.
