It’s the GOP punishing cities for being Blue. NC has no local/home rule unless general assembly delegates it through specific legislation. GOP has had lock on general assembly since 2 years into Obama’s first term.
Then you get Texas. We’ve got a law that just went into effect that basically takes away huge swaths of law making powers from the cities. They have made no attempt to hide that it was entirely for the benefit of businesses at the expense of locals and their desires.
And many municipalities even higher than many of those high state minimum wages.
Then you have NC. NC’s state gov does everything it can to restrict local govs. It is even banning cities from regulating single use plastic bags.
Sounds like big government overreach to me
