It never fails to amaze me how little people seem to care about local politics, the stuff that effects them the most day to day. Our local elections get an okay turn out, because we've done a good job of making people aware of how important it is. But I go to a city counsel meeting, and members seem mad that someone showed up and they have to go through the motions. Most of them run unopposed, and I assume decide who gets what while they're at the bar or something. Their election campaign is usually a facebook page with cute kids smiling, and saying nothing at all. The city doesn't know what they're up to unless they ask for money. For a long time the federal level has been increasing in power, but maybe that's because no takes an active interest in city & state. I've been considering running for a local seat just to be a monkey wrench.
