An open letter to the local government leaders
Amid rising frustration and distrust toward government institutions, we’re facing a critical moment in public administration. It’s not just a question of who holds office but rather the values guiding our civil service—values that have grown disconnected from today’s pressing issues. Trust is eroding quickly, with 85% of Americans feeling unheard by their leaders. As the traditional structures falter globally, especially under criticism, it’s time for public administration to self-reflect and redefine its mission. This isn’t merely a trend—it’s a fundamental shift we need to engage with sincerely.
This summarizes an open letter from a public administration academic. His message needs to be heard far and wide, and especially by we the people — so that we may better articulate our concerns to those in charge of leading our institutions. Read it on Government Executive.
