Segment 2: Partisan vs Non-partisan
n America we basically run under a two party system. The major parties are the Republican Party, and the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party believes in a democracy, a strong centralized government. The Republican Party believes in a republic of 50 states, a weaker federal government, with more rights to the states. So, those two different points of view make sense at a national level, and a state level but do they really have an impact at the local level? At the county level, people are talking about things like property taxes, police, fire, search and rescue and things of that nature. You'd be surprised at the differing points of view. Here with the story is Malia Bascom.
