New Haven is governed via the mayor-council system. Connecticut municipalities (like those of neighboring states Massachusetts and Rhode Island) provide nearly all local services (such as fire and rescue, education, snow removal, etc.), as county government has been abolished since 1960. New Haven County merely refers to a grouping of towns and a judicial district, not a governmental entity. New Haven is a member of the South Central Connecticut Regional Council of Governments (SCRCOG), a regional agency created to facilitate coordination between area municipal governments and state and federal agencies, in the absence of county government. John DeStefano, Jr., the current mayor of New Haven, has served nine consecutive terms and was re-elected for a record tenth term in November 2011. Mayor DeStefano has focused his tenure on improving education and public safety, as well as on economic development. Notable initiatives include the Livable City Initiative, begun in 1996, which promotes home ownership and removes blight. In 1995, DeStefano launched a 15-year, $1.5 billion School Construction Program, already half finished, to replace or renovate every New Haven public school. In 2010 DeStefano began the ambitious job of undertaking school reform efforts - which led to the NY Times referring to New Haven as "ground zero" for school reform.
OK.gov was created to improve access to government, reduce service-processing costs and enable state agencies to provide a higher quality of service to their constituents.

OK.gov offers numerous possibilities to expand government services online, allowing citizens to interact closely with their state government, and revolutionize operational procedures at the state level.

In 1941, the Ohio General Assembly established the Highway Patrol Retirement System (HPRS) for troopers and communications personnel employed by the Highway Patrol. Today, membership in HPRS is limited to troopers with arrest authority and trooper cadets in training at the Highway Patrol Training Academy. The system provides age and service, disability, survivor, and death benefits, as well as health care coverage for benefit recipients and eligible dependents. HPRS receives funds from three sources: 1) employee contributions, 2) employer contributions, and 3) investment returns. These funds are used to pay benefits and expenses of the System. All funds are placed in income-producing investments that follow the guidelines in Ohio Revised Code Chapter 5505. The Retirement Board makes investment decisions on the recommendation of the Chief Investment Officer and outside investment advisors. Each year a detailed financial statement, the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, is prepared for all interested parties. This comprehensive report is based on audited records and contains a detailed listing of all investments. As of August 31, 2018, HPRS had estimated assets of $912 million.

As one of the largest states in the nation, California proudly celebrates its diversity— from its diverse geography to the diversity in the millions of people who call California “home.” Working to ensure the housing needs in such a large and varied state is no simple task, and California`s housing-affordability challenges are well-documented. The team at HCD takes these housing-affordability challenges seriously, to ensure Californians from all walks of life have safe, stable, and affordable places to call home, and broke down silos to engage in housing-related activities that benefit other issues Californians care about—from clean air and transportation to the general health and safety of all Californians. HCD remains focused on what works, while finding new opportunities to make the most efficient and most effective use of the public`s investment in programs that: • Increase the housing supply, keeping roofs over the heads of Californians. • Lift up neighborhoods by providing parks, sidewalks, bike paths, and other infrastructure necessary for healthy communities. • Protect the health and safety of Californians through building code enforcement and other inspection programs. • Connect people to the opportunities they need to live successful lives
