Sample Interview #1:
“The problem with the reforms is that it gives nearly all of the attention to municipal local government.  What is a regional government is not clearly defined.  For example, the only law that defines the role of the governor is in Law of Supervision.  In fact, the governors own title is unclear within the legal language.  The governor also oversees many things in local government that have no legal mandate.  There has been no thinking, requirements, or resources on a regional development strategy to this point.”*
