I was interested in the company publishing this and found that governing.com is operated by e.Republic, a media company founded, owned, and operated by scientologists [1]. It's founder is Dennis McKenna (not the brother of Terence) who was a spokesperson for the Church of Scientology during Operation Freakout [2], "a Church of Scientology covert plan intended to have the U.S. author and journalist Paulette Cooper imprisoned or committed to a psychiatric hospital." Given past events [3], I find the idea of a scientology media company trying to get the ear of state and local governments to be very concerning.
