People decide to start voting for various reasons. Elizabeth Hope Brown always voted in national elections but realized the importance of voting for state and local candidates after working in public service and having kids in the school system. We also talk about what it takes for her to feel more connected to the local government, and how the internet has been a friend to her as she seeks information. We also discuss whether Augusta has diversity, the limited nature of our public transportation system, and concerns about jail overcrowding and the courts.
