Assignment #2 A. Ogle

The article "Government has to make choices families, businesses don't" was written by Cindi Ross Scoppe and appeared in "The State". This particular South Carolina paper is written to give information to those that live in South Carolina, or those interested in what is going on around here.
This particular article's purpose is to shed light on things going on in the local government. The biggest topics are those related to choices and decisions being made, and those that need to be made by the local government.
The main point of making these decisions is to have the most positive results for the community. Most issues brought up in this article are those of finances. It is up to the local government to make the best decisions for individual citizens and the community as a whole.
Positive and negative results come about after each final action is taken. It is the job of the government to make the negative results a minimum.
Working in the government is a difficult position because everyone judges what is being done for the state. It is difficult to make sure that the majority of the people are being taken care of and happy, especially in trying times. It is still necessary.
