A few thing they look after are local roads, putting out fires, and take care of service parks. The leader of the local government is the Mayor.  Mayor of Bowling Green, KY. Bruce Wilkerson

4. State Government

Every state also elects a presidents during the election. State and local governments often share responsibilities! The leader of the state government is the Governor.
