Question

which of the following statements are correct? council adopts an annual budget and state courts resolves legal disputes; board of supervisors enacts ordinances and the school board oversees public schools; mayor oversees county operations and the commissioner of revenue levies taxes; sheriff enforces state and local laws and the general assembly appoints county manager

Explanation:

1. Green Card: In local government, city councils typically adopt annual budgets, and state courts are responsible for resolving legal disputes. This statement is correct.
2. Purple Card: Boards of supervisors (county-level legislative bodies) enact local ordinances, and school boards are tasked with overseeing public schools in their district. This statement is correct.
3. Orange Card: County operations are overseen by a county executive or board of supervisors, not a mayor (who leads a municipality/city). The Commissioner of Revenue does levy taxes, but the first part of the statement is incorrect, making the whole statement wrong.
4. Teal Card: Sheriffs do enforce state and local laws, but county managers are typically appointed by the county board of supervisors, not the state General Assembly. The second part of the statement is incorrect, making the whole statement wrong.

Answer:

• Correct statements:

1. Council adopts an annual budget and State courts resolves legal disputes
2. Board of supervisors enacts ordinances and the school board oversees public schools
