The state operates through agencies and programs that manage public education, infrastructure, health, safety, land use, and economic development, aiming to keep communities safe, informed, and prosperous. Its programs work by collecting taxes and fees, creating laws and regulations, and delivering services via state agencies, local governments, and partnerships with farmers, businesses, and non-profits.
