If someone had an issue with a local service, who should this person contact first?

A. the governor’s office
B. representative on the city council or a county official
C. Arkansas representative in the U.S. Senate
D. county’s records office

B. representative on the city council or a county official

Why

Contacting a representative on the city council or a county official would be the most direct and appropriate first step in addressing an issue with a local service. These officials are responsible for overseeing the services provided in their jurisdiction and can often help resolve problems or direct you to the appropriate department or resources for assistance. In contrast, contacting higher level officials such as the governor's office or U.S. Senate representative may not be necessary or as effective for resolving a local service issue. Additionally, the county's records office may not be equipped to handle service-related complaints.
