In this case hopefully these local shit birds in control get the boot from those that recognize their over reach, over reaction and not doing what's best for their citizens.
In my experience local leaders here (specifically those in smaller communities) tend to be far more practical and actually serve the people they represent. Not in all cases but it is far more prevalent than those that seem to gravitate to larger cities, counties and state government positions. These people tend to be on massive power trips and get off on pushing their personal agenda's on others. Exactly why I have elected to live outside large metro areas with tons of regulations.
