Linda Mussmann reminded us that it is ultimately the policies established in your community that effect families and individuals the most. Thus far in our class we have only focused on issues concerning our federal and state governments. In Hudson the cement factory would have caused serious health risks and additionally be damaging to small town business owners. The politics within ones own town have far greater personal consequences then the federal and even state policies implemented. Linda Mussmann’s experiences in Hudson illustrated that politics start at a private community level, and are an essential component to the prosperity of cities/towns and to the broader national and state governmental system.
