It provides programs and services through agencies and online portals, and residents interact by applying for benefits, renewing licenses, paying fees, or accessing records. Unlike private companies, it is funded by public funds and guided by policy, accountability, and transparency to serve all residents rather than shareholders. Its goal is to improve people’s lives by implementing legislative actions and delivering reliable, efficient public services.
