Abstract
- The article focuses on the conflict between city regulations and state laws in the U.S. Topics discussed include the "plastic bag" battle in Texas which represents a national model where cities legislatively address a local problem while state legislatures shoot it down especially as more conservative Republicans gain control of state governments. It talks about the main arguments for state authority over municipalities and how it undermines the principle of democracy.
