Greetings,
There’s been some controversy spurred after my legislation on the abolishment of the municipalities was created and docketed to the House. I have done this with confidence and plausible reasoning which will be specified within this very thread.
- Activity and Progression of the Municipalities
I’ve always had major queries on these municipal governments, what exact purpose do they serve? Why is this purpose sustained and still existence? What substantial progress has occurred within these governments that directly affect the lives of our citizens? The only plausible reason I see to their existence is because of federalism (no pun intended, this being FEDeralism). This concept of government involves having governments delegate smaller/lower governments, and so on. However, why have CAC monitor the relations of an dysfunctional mini-government that outputs little to no development? Why have the County persist on these ‘Mayor Special Elections’ if these governments serve little to no purpose? By this point, it is all for the sake of ‘realism’ which is very refutable and weak.
- Lack of Governmental Enactment or Knowledge
Most ordinances (if any) fail to even pass their council or get signed by the Mayor due to conflict with superior statute or the constitution. Believe me, most state laws have pretty much covered the scope municipalities have. In-fact, the amount of effective ordinance is lackluster, one within the District of Prominence, this being https://trello.com/c/exfDgy6a/18-a-bill-to-define-vandalizing-government-property (which I personally regret proposing, it is really dumb) and another within the City of Arborfield https://trello.com/c/ZHmHVXJR/113-a-bill-to-prevent-driving-in-fire-lanes are the only two that really serve somewhat of a purpose. The other Arborfield ordinances are either unenforceable or better fit for state statute. I believe the aeronautics act and obstruction of healthcare ordinances are much more well-fitted as state laws as these can occur anywhere else in Stapleton County and remain legal as long as they do not occur within the limits of Arborfield, which is obviously detrimental. With all of this, the governments can’t even execute one main role being the proposal and enacted of ordinances without problems hindering or preventing such.
- Ease to our Superior Governments
Finally, with these governments abolished, our higher and much more important governments no longer need to directly monitor these pseudo governments. I’m in the state of belief that having these governments remain within this state just to exist is bound to cause those incompetent and power hungry to take office of the Mayor and reek havoc. These elections receive little to no votes, which leads to them being a waste of valuable time as mentioned previously in my thread. Our county is much more reliable to maintain attention to our cities and can most likely output much more progress.
I implore congress to finally end this back and forth, the county affairs committee is simply stuck to the traditional belief that this so-called ‘government’ is needed, I’ve just proven once and for all that this is nothing but a waste of energy for our great and progressive state. Let’s progress further by turning the light off with these impractical, incompetent, and meaningless governments.
Signed,
Representative
on, but hey what can you say it’s Firestone. Hooray!
