Local Government & Preemption legislation, California
State legislation that governs cities and counties -- home rule, state preemption of local ordinances, municipal finance, and local authority. Deliberately broad: a city affairs office cares about municipal bonds, utilities and courts as much as about preemption fights, so the hub errs toward including anything a municipality is subject to.
