One argument any local proverb

 One argument any local board would use is the state cannot dictate what federal money can be used for.

 It's foolish to say the finances don't look bleak. Of course, they do. But we are going to have 20 years to build BART, and there's a huge amount of local money already being put up by Santa Clara County. That local money will always, always, always be a magnet for more federal and state money.

 What this decision stands for is that there is a limit to the circumstances under which the federal government can dictate to the citizens of Nevada who they can or can not have as candidates for state or local office,

 I think what [state board members] have told us today is that you can't get your state money unless you violate federal laws. We think that's wrong.

 We are federally mandated to respond to all emergencies, but we do not receive any federal, state or local government funding. We've sent all of our money out of state to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina, so we are in a big financial crunch right now.

 The federal government doesn't have the money. The rebuilding money should come from state and local budgets. States should issue bonds for long-term investments for freeways and the like. ... They should look at innovative private financing mechanisms.

 A stupendous amount of money goes into public stadiums and arenas - probably somewhere upwards of $2 billion a year, when you count all the local, state and federal money that goes into it. And the public does not get back any sort of benefit close to what it's putting into it.

 Right now, everybody is sort of sitting on their hands doing nothing. But if we show some local initiative, it's going to make it easier to apply for more money from the state and maybe from the federal government.

 In the four years since the PATRIOT Act's enactment, a broad range of Americans have petitioned their state and local governments to protect them from unwarranted surveillance and other excesses of the federal government. Eight state legislatures and nearly 400 local and county governments have responded by passing resolutions upholding the civil liberties of their 85 million constituents, who make up one-third of the U.S. population. Such a large, powerful, and nonpartisan groundswell of people acting locally to hold their federal elected representatives accountable is unparalleled in U.S. history. We commend Senator Feingold for reading the state resolutions of Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Maine, Montana, and Vermont, and the county and local government resolutions of his home state of Wisconsin aloud to his Senate colleagues yesterday.

 Hurricane Katrina is a wake-up call for our nation. It reminded us of the power of Mother Nature and the need for federal, state and local governments to always be prepared... As we go about rebuilding the Gulf Coast, we welcome the president's proposals as well as the thoughts of state and local leaders.

 It's like a $21 million tax. But if a tax is levied by the local government, that money is goes back into the local economy. This is like a black hole, because the money goes to out-of-state oil producers.

 State and local officials determine staffing needs. We don't dictate hiring decisions.

 Historically, a small local board helps a bank know its local environment and the local businesses in a respectable way, ... But the 27 banks in the report were large multi-state or international banks.

 The code of conduct makes it clear a federal judge is not permitted to run in state or local government elections. I came on as judge in November of 2002; I had just gone through the election process that previous June and wanted to complete my term on the park board.

 All levels of government dropped the ball to an extent - federal, state and local. The president accepts responsibility for the federal response efforts.
