President Obama has established a White House Rural Council to examine issues outside America’s big cities. While the majority of Arizonans live in metropolitan areas, there are a half million people living in rural Arizona.
Public News Service says the council will look for ways to maximize the impact of federal investments, and promote both economic prosperity and quality of life for rural residents.
The new White House Rural Council will be made up of two dozen cabinet leasders, including some from the departments of Labor, Commerce and Transportation.
The executive order is online at whitehouse.gov.
