| Publisher Description: Before deciding to run for elective office, you need to understand how state and local government works in your community. Many of these are illustrative academic lessons that Professor Deeb teaches regularly in his state and local politics courses at Bunker Hill Community College and the University of Massachusetts Lowell. What makes this book different is that Professor Deeb ties in many of the lessons that he learned with his own personal experiences in state and local politics. He mentions names and cites real experiences. Many of the names cited are still in office or active in state and local politics. This is an informative work on the structure and functions of state and local government, a how-to-guide in running for office, and a case study of rules to follow while in office. It provides real-world lessons of what to expect when dealing with constituents and other officials. |
