In politics most people just critizise each other, but what did your local government actually do a good job on?

    I live in WA state. the state and county response to covid seemed very informed and measured; they based policy on WHO and CDC recommendations, tried to ramp up and ramp down to make it easier, and were transparent with the numbers they were looking at.

    We still saw our medical facilities struggling, especially as one of our neighbor states was not particularly great at covid prevention. so when their situation was bad, a lot of them came over here.

    when Roe was overturned and abortion bans started going into place, our leaders realized our neighbor was going to once again flood our medical system. so they started stockpiling abortion drugs and doing what they could to increase support.

    they’re also trying to increase public transit, which I appreciate. it’s plagued by corruption and delays, but they are slowly making progress.

      WA has a lot going for it in terms of governance. It’s also pretty nice that we get to vote by mail.
