Are local govs creatures of the state level, or are they truly an independent level of government? --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------

All the local levels are answerable to the state government. \r\n\r\n But... \r\n\r\n The Commonwealth of Virginia is the only place in the US which makes common practice of having independent cities, so it'll be interesting to see how jurisdictional issues play out in any legal challenges. For example, some of the kids involved apparently live in Staunton -- which is an independent city -- but any of them who are outside the city limits (say, in a neighboring town) instead have to deal with the government of Augusta County. --\r\nYou cooin' with my bird? \r\n[link\|http://www.shtuff.us/\|shtuff]
