Recently, I have been complaining to my friends how the municipality (county management...what's the word people use here in US?) is not very different.
My friends argue .."oh it's different, look at the powerful machines they have? In India, they would have 50 people working on it!"
I argue back, saying “Oh but they have 5 people staring at the machine digging the road!"
Agreed, that's not much of an argument, because they do get things done faster here. But you cannot disagree with me when I tell you that they really like to work on the roads, as they do in Bombay!
Take for instance this road I walk by everyday to work. In the last 5 years they have dug it up three times for sure. For various reasons. They dig to put new electric cables..
They dig to beautify the road...and my god...the latest..They dig to make the road NARROWER!!!

I guess the word that you're looking for is "Public Works Department".
