And ditto for North Carolina. Tell me, in Florida, does the state government like to get revenge on cities? North Carolina's government loves nothing more than to punish a city if it tries to implement some uppity idea or just for not voting Republican. That's why the state has stepped in to steal airports, water systems, rearrange voting districts, and more all across North Carolina. In my own city the state has tried, with varying success, to steal our water system, airport,
and expo center and give them to regional authorities with considerably more conservative representation, and is forcing district elections on a city that has always had open, city-wide elections.
