First - Local offices are more convienient for those who need the services they provide. \n\nSecond, They're usually staffed by local citizens who are more aware of the prevailing conditions that apply to the area's special needs demands. e.g. Small towns without public transportation services. \n\nThird - Civic organizations, such as the Lions Club, Kiwanis Club, VFW, church groups, and volunteer community programs augument any government programs, and in many cases are the only assistance available to people with special needs.

There's hardly a limit to the application of GIS in UK local government.  Just about every service delivered by councils' in this country either uses or could use GIS - it's such a useful tool for recording and manipulating any sort of information which has a geographical component.  This includes planning, access to the countryside, fire, policing, roads & transport, social services, tourism, waste management, education, wildlife protection etc etc etc - the list is very long

I believe it is a way to provide for "services" for the common good.  Services here include, but are not limited to: transportation, police, infrastructure, as well as a variety of other human services that make life pleasant.

Most local hospitals have assistance for people without insurance or income.  You need to be seen by a medical professional; in order to know what might be going on. There are programs to help you through the state and federal government. (Medicaid).

Hard one this, without a government willing to keep taxation & regulation / paperwork to a minimum + the availability of an Organisation (such as the "Princes Trust" here in the UK) offering funding, training & support to encourage people.

This was an issue I ran into last year in Debate Team.  After research and deep thinking (I am by the way a strong proponent of small government), my debate partner and I came to the conclusion that legally and constitutionally (we became known as the Con-Law team) local governments should pay for local roads.  Regional governments should pay for regional roads.  State governments should pay for state roads.  Federal governments should pay for interstate roads.  This goes for other infrasructure as well.  City buses that are owned by the government should be paid for by the city, etc.  When each agency pays for itself a lot of government waste is eliminated in agencies crossing their boundaries.  Hope this helps!

Depends on where you are.  Police are generally local departments governed by local politics.

That would be handled on the state and local level.
