In Arizona, the GOP-controlled state legislature passed a law that forces the city of Tucson to hold non-partisan, ward-only elections for City Council. This is still being adjudicated but I wondered from the start why a conservative would oppose the Federal government "imposing" on State governments AND think it's OK for a state government to impose on a city.
A similar interference in also taking place in Wisconsin. The voters of Milwaukee overwhelmingly approved an ordinance that requires businesses to offer sick leave but that's unacceptable to the GOP-controlled state legislature.
