Politics with Paul #36: Home Rule Part 1 - How Much Autonomy Should Local Governments Have?

from Politics with Paul · host Paul Rader

The interactions between the federal and state governments get the bulk of the attention and study, but the interactions between state and local governments are just as important. At the heart of the discussion is the concept of "home rule," which refers to how much autonomy local governments have to administer their affairs independent of their state government's involvement. How independent should these local governments be of state government? How is home rule different and similar to the debates over federal vs. state government jurisdiction? How has the concept developed over time? Tune into today's episode of Politics with Paul for a dive into the history and debate over home rule.
