that the State and Local governments are closest to the source and should be able to manage things better than the Federal government. But, I'm appalled at the amount of corruption at the State and Local levels. Now, I'm not saying there is no corruption at the Federal levels, particularly on the Hill, but every place I have lived, it's been the same with the State and local governments. And increasingly, elected officials at the local level of bankrupting the cities they are supposed to be managing. Their business practices are shockingly incompetent. and just when it seems like someone competent gets elected and will straighten things out -- they are either forced out by the corrupt or they themselves have become corrupt.

In VA, our HOA did 3 rounds of battle with the board of supervisors, over development of lands that had been designated for recreation. We won one, we lost one, and we got concessions on the 3rd. But a small HOA does not have the resouces to fight a $$$ developer. As a result, my former county will, in the end, just be one sub-division after another.

One thing I am optimistic about is that my friend was just elected to the VA state legislator. I know what kind of persons he and his wife are, so maybe it's the small start to a trend.
