re: #25 Walter L. Newton

That was a statewide problem which he dealt with. Smoking problem crosses local government concerns, just like we have a federal government to take care of nationwide concerns.

Education standards aren’t a statewide issue? Nonsense! Of course they are. If the legislature passed a statewide stealth creationist bill, you can bet your sweet bippy he’d ditch local control pretty damned fast to sign it.

You can’t have it both ways Sharm.

Unless you’re a politician- then you can.
