Well this says it all:
Intrusion on home rule from the state or federal government undermines the constitutional right of local citizens to govern themselves.
Yes, and Mr. League of Cities himself, Scott Maxwell, gave some sort of phony political statement about HomeRule and then voted away the rights of the people who voted for heights in our downtown by agreeing to an LDR change allowing 65 feet.
It's no wonder most people have no use for politicians.
