Reply to comment by kayakyakr in Does CT need 169 municipalities? Some say merging makes sense by NicoleMcIsaac
So, like an invasion?

Mmm. I like the town system, buuuut, we also need a way for larger cities to involuntarily annex smaller kin or at least areas of smaller kin.

It's a regular topic of conversation in my circles. Maybe we're just weird.

I saw this car almost a year ago and took a pic as well. It wasn't as decorated at the time though.

Can't happen without a method for county taxation which would require an amendment to the state constitution. 169 mayors/first selectmen would no longer be the big fish in little ponds. They'll fight it tooth and nail. 8 superintendents of schools? You think all but the 8 want to lose their jobs? County sheriffs instead of local police chief's?
It may be a great idea. It may not be. But you can be sure of one thing. It'll never happen. Too many people have too much to lose.

**Looks at the US South, and it's shitty regional governance that can't solve local problems...like having pottable water.....**
No thanks, we'll keep doing what we're doing. "Big government" actually works when all voting-aged people elect it, rather than exclusively land/home owners.

Was an 8 month turnaround when I got mine years ago. It's inexcusable. Happily, these anti-freedom fucks have been getting their asses blasted in the courts post Bruen.

Edit: Lol I read that fast thought you said why can't "I" ignore federal gun laws?.. carry on.
Aren't states like Texas doing just that?

The DOJ has enforcement priorities. They have bigger fish to fry than the 40+ states and territories that have legalized medical or recreational.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Arguably DOJ is protecting states rights by not interfering with what states have chosen to do.

It's clear and obvious CT needs to move to county-based governance, for all the reasons the article states. Nice to see this kind of wisdom rising. It'd be nicer, not to mention better for all Connecticut residents, to see it acted upon.

Ps. That’s still nothing to do with the original statement which was about gas prices but you wanted to bring up trump to go with your tds

None had a total shut down of the economy other than trump. By the way, who is in charge of spending? Teach me about civics, sir. Teach me because as I recall congress writes checks

well if state laws mean nothing to feds… then we have a bigger problem than marijuana. We have a federal government that is violating our constitutional rights. And if the feds don’t law why should we?

>Of the country’s more than 3,000 counties, only about 40 have merged with their core cities since 1895. About a third of those are in Alaska and Georgia.
A 0.44% chance over 128 years, almost down there with the odds of dying from Covid, I can see why you brought it up.

Oh ok. I thought they were trying to say that was still cheap. Even across the country from me in California gas is way more expensive I think 5$ or so. But still my gas is expensive lol

Exactly. And let's not forget legal prescriptions for narcotics. I'll take the weed smoking gun owner over the legal xanax and legal alcohol purchase one any day.

Can you explain what opinions you hold that make you consider yourself a centrist?

If the state can ignore federal drug law? , why can't the state ignore federal gun laws?
I'm serious.

The owners of the property aren't anti-weed, they are anti-smoking. Like it or not, there is a difference. Smoking in the car is a stretch, but they're well within their right to not want smoke damage in their units.
You could fill your jars with edibles, your medicine cabinet with suppositories, and put tinctures in your bedside table and it wouldn't be a problem at all.

what’s the difference between owning a fireman if you are a weed smoker and owning a firearm if you indulge in drinking alcohol? im genuinely curious.
