When you put trash on the curb and it disappears, or you turn on your faucet and water comes out, a park or store appears on your street, or a pothole gets filled while you're sleeping - it's like magic. You don't have to think about it. It just happens. So many talented people in local government put a lot of thought into making those things happen. Those people are also magic.

You're magic, too. Whether you love numbers, writing, computers, pets, or building things, you can use your magic with local government. You can be a lawyer, veterinarian, librarian, traffic engineer, budget strategist, arborist, speech writer, volunteer, and so much more. You have the magic to make your community better.
