I mean, counties can do the same “fuck you” with the state and towns can do the same with the county? Generally no, because the state is the sovereign. Counties/towns/any other local communities aren't.

  So how is it that we read articles like this one? Shouldn’t the state intervene to keep counties and towns at bay? For what I read around it is unusual, and mostly when something really bad happens and/or hit the news. If the state is sovereign, why is it not enforcing its own law inside its borders? (thanks again BTW)
