The "upper echelon" has removed as much power as possible form the locals for decades. "states rights" used to be considered important things...now they are considered to be a euphemism for racism. States rights have been trampled. Everything has been federalized and the NSA/FBI has complete blackmail control of the Senate and legislative bodies....so the local control is eliminated there as well. Look at the assassination of Wellstone and others. Smear campaigns against any local officials that dare oppose the "upper echelon". too much to talk about.
