Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

the answer is D

Explanation:

Local governments are responsible for local issues, such as running the police and fire departments and maintaining public works, such as street cleaning, snow removal, and signage. Local governments take charge of public works projects because it would be too difficult for state governments and the federal government to run so many public works programs throughout the country.
