Americans continue the decade-long trend of being more trusting of their local government than of their state government. Currently, 72% of U.S. adults say they have a "great deal" or a "fair amount" of trust in their local government, compared with 63% who say the same about their state government.  According to Gallup making the decisions made by your local government hold increased importance. Eric Mason is the Chief Financial Officer for his hometown of Quincy, Massachusetts.  He’s a big believer that economics is just common-sense in a language not everyone knows; “I view my role as a translator.”  He joined me this week to discuss how local government can act as a big catalyst for positive change.
