Who is
responsible for promoting the common welfare (good)?
Your
local government helps take care of some of your needs
in the community. The local pool that you may go to in
the summer is provided and maintained by your city. The
recreational center you play basketball or have soccer
leagues in is provided by your local government.
Children may be helped by the city providing day care
facilities for the young people in your neighborhoods
and communities. Senior citizens have centers and
facilities that are often provided by the city. The
local government provides public parking and public
transportation such as busses or subways. There are many
ways a local government can help promote the common
welfare of its citizens.”
