Message | Now it has a description too. Of course, the description is misleading - you say that this is something that can be left to local governments as though it is somehow devolving authority from above, but the actuality is that the power currently lies with the people and your policy is taking it from the people and handing it to local governments. Naturally, we oppose powergrab by the government. |
