Article II - The Responsibilities of Local Government

Section A. The Responsibilities of County Government

The man who has no imagination has no wings.---Muhammad Ali The best way to make enemies is to try to change something. - President Woodrow Wilson

A new county may become a new county by the vote of its would be citizens with a minimum set by the state no less than 100,000 citizens with the exception of colonies formed in space or distant planets, which may contain a fewer number of citizens. The citizens of each county shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of national law as the citizens in the several counties. No person, entity or business may be regulated, taxed, restricted or otherwise discriminated against due to the fact that their residence is outside of the city, county, region or nation. The judicial power of the Democracy shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one county or region by citizens of another county, or by citizens or subjects of any foreign county. A person charged in any county or region with treason, felony, or other crime, who is fleeing from justice, and be found in another county or region, shall on demand of the executive authority of the county or region from which he fled, be delivered up, to be removed to the county having jurisdiction of the crime. All the mayors that make up a given county are known as the County Council, but may also be referred to as the County Council. (Article IV, US Constitution (Article 2 (1,2))) Amendment 11) (Revised: 7/11/07)

1. County Mergers, Divisions and Creations

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored---Aldous Huxley

The county standards of populations, maximum under 10,000,000 or 20 metropolises 40 cities, 60 towns or 80 villages and minimum over 100,000 citizens or 6 metropolises 9 cities, 12 towns or 20 villages size of individual counties, however these maximums and minimums maybe altered through national mandates, but must be maintained within specified ranges except for foreign mergers when the agreement was established during the merger process. For the purposes of city creation, divides, and mergers percentage are to be applied to county mixtures in the manor as follows, not to be applied to mayoral voting rights: one metropolis counts as two cities, three towns or four villages.  Space and Scientific exploration may have special rules concerning sizes for towns, villages, cities or counties as approved by the National Council or National Ambassador for multiple nation endeavors or as approved the the people. The people’s vote in this manor will lay precedence and supersede national mandate guidelines. Until approval of a better and more technologically accurate alternative can be established through a national or regional powers of authority proposal the County population will be considered static until the national census which must take place every 10 years. The County Council must meet to propose a county divide for counties that exceed their population. Neighboring counties, cities, towns or villages may also choose to participate in this process with the consent of the County Council that is required to divide. Cities, towns or villages may not leave a county if their departure causes the county to be fewer than 100,000 residence or a County Council to consist of less than five mayors. For Counties that are too small the County Council must meet with at least one neighboring county of its choice for a possible merger or new divides. The Regional Ambassador may be called out at the request of either county to act as a mediator. Any citizen within a dividing or merging county may issue an alternative with just 25% of the signatures required to get a measure on the ballot. Signatures may be gathered from any of the counties taking part in the vote to merge or divide the county. If a consensus is not reached within six months or after the vote of a ballot initiate the Regional Governor will become responsible for outlining the new borders of the county. The final boundaries of county and city lines will be decided through public vote upon their entrance to the democracy. The percentages will be added among all voting counties. The proposal with the highest percentage majority, rather than individual majority votes, will become the law upon the approval of the Regional court. In a merger the boundaries of county and city may only be done through the vote all of cities or counties apart of the merger provided they do not cross regional borders. Unless altered through the national public vote each county shall consist of a minimum of 5 villages, towns or cities, but no more than 150 and a land area no less than 5 square miles and no more than 50 square miles unless the population is less than one million citizens.

2. County Servant and Budget

Any sufficiently advanced bureaucracy is indistinguishable from molasses.

During the annual county budget meeting when the County Council has been assembled a new County Servant will be selected among the mayors in the most recent election within the top ten percent of majority percentage votes. These mayors may run themselves or appoint a candidate to run as the County Servant. If the mayor that originally appointed the County Servant or the mayor acting as County Servant is still serving his term in office and did not run in the last election cycle he or the Servant he appointed may run for reelection in the County Council among the other mayoral candidates for County Servant. Candidates for County Servant just like candidates for Mayor will list the percentage of taxation required from the taxation received from the individual mayors as well as a an estimation of expenses. If fewer than 3 candidates are available than the mayors with the top three majority election percentages may run as candidates for the County Servant position. In case of a tie vote the mayor with the most seniority will be selected. The County Servant, which also means the county budget may only pass with at least 51% public majority vote of the mayors choosing to vote. A mayor must willing choose to abstain if not voting for a County Servant. Mayors must be given the option to vote remotely. Multiple run off elections may be required to achieve at least a 51% majority. 50% tie vote the County Servant position will go to the candidate that is not presently the County Servant. If neither candidate is presently the County Servant and the next primary mayoral elections within the county are more than a year away the County Budget will divide the budget and the term in office in two until the next election. The candidate with the most seniority in office will get to select the 1/2 term he prefers. Equal seniority will be decided with a coin toss. If the next primary mayoral election is a year away or less the candidate with the greatest minority party among registered voters in the county will become the next County Servant. If both candidates are in the same party the candidate with the most seniority will become the next County Servant. The County Servant is to receive compensation for his service as determined by county public vote. The county budget lays out the framework for what is to be done and when, however, unless privatized or out sourced, how a project is to be implemented is left up to the individual mayors within the boundaries of their individual city. The County Servant is responsible to prosecute any mayor or mayors, which do not live up to the budget passed. County projects are to be handled the same way, however, county projects require a 3/5-majority vote. Freshmen mayors will be granted some leniency in regards to the completion county projects. The length of time between the election and when the candidate takes office shall be no greater than two months and no less than three weeks. During that time the new mayors as well as the incumbent mayors that won reelection will meet and pass the county budget. Any mayor or incumbent mayor may present amendments to the County Servant’s budget. Such amendments require a majority vote from the County Council to pass, nonvoting members of the County Council will be considered a no vote for amendments. If the budget has not been passed by the 1st of January no spending at any city level within that county with the exception of the police and fire departments will occur. The national budget will be handled in that same time period with the same results if no budget is passed. The current County Servant will be responsible for when and where the county budget is conducted in accordance with county law as determined through public vote. Should the County budget fail to meet its expenses the County Council will meet to alter the county budget accordingly. At that time the County Council may vote to choose another County Servant. The County budget may not borrow money to meet its expenses without the unanimous approval of the mayors. If the County budget fails to get out of the red before the election the penalties that follow violating budgetary surpluses will apply to all mayors in the county who cast their vote for the county servant or amendments under whom the increased spending took place, as determined through the Regional Courts, so that they may not be allowed to run for reelection. The county budget is limited to the following responsibilities: voting expenditures, infrastructure needs between cities within the county limits, county militia, county courts and incarceration or criminal penal system as determined through public county vote.

b. City Projects

I didn't come up here to read - I came here to hit - Hank Aaron

The saving held by the city maybe invested at the mayor's discretion as long as the mayor is not acting in such a way as to increase his own financial assets. The interest gained from the surpluses, not used by the regional government, may be used at the mayor's discretion to enrich his city not the mayor i.e.: new schools, libraries, zoos, museums, etc. Mayors may combine their funds together for projects spanning multiple cities. Anv loss of city savings will be replaced through the city budget. If the city budget is unable to accommodate the loss the RBI is required to open up an investigation into the mayor. If guilty of abusing the cities funds the National Ambassador is required to place an international freeze on all the Mayor’s assets.  If criminal activity was involved the Mayor will be liable for seven times the damages he incurred. If the mayor is found to have used negligence or bad judgment with the cities savings the mayor will be denied the ability to run for reelection or hold any public office for life. Also up to 50% of the mayors wages will be garnished for life, or until the debt is paid in full.

3. Resolving Conflicts between Counties

You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.---Dale Carnegie

To resolve conflicts and tensions between counties the County Council' involved may be allowed to write a law of compromise. Laws of Compromise must occur at the request of the Governor, Regional Court, through the use of petitions from the public or through peaceful public assembly of a grievance. Laws of Compromise must represent an immediate public need to the stability and health of the counties involved. If two counties are involved then each County Council cares 50% of the vote (divided equally between the mayors of the county), if three counties meet each County Council will carry 33 1/3%, if four 25%, and so on. 3/5-majority vote is needed for approval. If approved the law of compromise will be sent to the Regional Court where a session will be held to see if the law is truly an attempt to ease tensions between counties involved, rather than an alternate attempt to pass legislation. Then the law will be presented on the annual ballet where a majority vote from all counties involved is required. If the court finds that the law of compromise proposed is really an attempt to write legislation it will be a mark against all the mayors involved from those counties. More than three marks and the mayor will be barred from running for reelection for seven years after their term in office has expired.(Revised: 7/17/07)

4. Constitutional Law Exam

We don't have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven't taxed enough; we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much. ---Ronald Reagan

Each branch of the military will be given a different constitutional test to guard and protect. Each test will be administered under the supervision and care of that specific branch of the military. When not in use the test will be locked away under armed guard. Should any portion of the test be stolen the military official responsible for it's protection will receive a sentence of death. Should any form of cheating be found the participants will also receive a sentence of death. The National Court and the High Court will be responsible for validating the Exams at the beginning of each term of the National Ambassador. The National and High Justice at the moment of retirement or death shall release one question to each branch of the military. The questions will be gathered through the years to form a new test should one of the other three be made public. Should a test be made public the government will publish a written book of the test with the written reasons for each answer and the other tests will be used until the completion of an additional test through the due course of time. Should all three tests be made public an alternate method maybe established through the powers of authority proposals as determined through public vote: Regional Courts through Regional Powers of Authority, National Court through National Powers of Authority and City Court through laws affecting county judges. If the judge receives a majority vote the judge will be put into office when needed in the order of their election. Each county may have no more than three judges waiting for office. Judges approved through county vote at the same time will take the bench in the order of their scores on the Constitutional Law Exam. Tests will be translated into the native tongue of all citizens who desire to take the exam.

5. County Militia

I'm not afraid of death - but dying scares the hell out of me - Jack Cleary

Each county is required to maintain a local militia. The militia maybe paid or volunteer depending on the laws set up by that county. Militia members are required to carry a firearm at all times, as well as be on call 24 hours a day. Practice drills will be set up from time to time. No third class citizen will be eligible to join. Duties required will be those set up through county law. Other volunteer work may be done if agreed to by militia members i.e.. Search and rescue, red cross, etc. Only Independent class qualify to enroll in militia membership in times of peace. No national mandate will be allowed which prohibits the right of the people to keep and bear arms. In order to preserve this right no law through, either the county, region or nation will be allowed which denies the transportation of arms from one county to that of another.

a. Martial Law

Determine never to be idle...It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.---Thomas Jefferson

The Mayor or County Council may Call out the local militia to help in time of emergency. If the local militia participates in non peaceful activities against the county the County Council may seek National Ambassador approval for assistance from the national military.

b. Defense Against Military Dictatorship

He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money.---Benjamin Franklin

Shall a man or woman use the national military to hold their power over the nation the county governments may take trial to the High Court where that Court carries the authority to order all citizens of any class, all militia as well as all faithful military officials to physically remove that individual from power. At the point the verdict is reached the court will appoint a new UN Ambassador or let a newly elected UN Ambassador take office. If the military does harm to any High Court, National or Regional justice all funding to the National or Regional government from the counties will stop. And all militia personnel will be ordered to oppose the dictator. The militia units will elect their own officers and must work together with other county militias. All military who support a dictator after the verdict is known or after harm comes to the High or National Courts from that dictator will be sentenced to death or as determined by the militia of his county. This ruling also stands should this nation surrender in time of war.

6. Public Acts and Records

Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.--Mahatma Gandhi

Full faith and credit shall be given in each county to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other county. And by National Mandate the people may prescribe the manner in which such acts, records and proceedings shall be proved, and the effect thereof. (Relations of the States to Each Other, US Constitution (Article IV (Section 1)))

Section B. The Responsibilities of City Government

All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion, and desire.---Aristotle

If the Regional government expands its authority beyond this constitution, the future amendments to it, or the national mandates the mayors may with hold the percentage Regional tax in the budget for that program from the Regional government. If the Regional government wishes to challenge this decision it may go to court in that city or county to discuss their case to resume partial taxation. In this authority the local county court will hold power over higher courts, however, the Regional government may without the services those funds provided. If the county believes that the services withheld are beyond the extent of the funds withheld the mayor(s) or county may take the case to the regional for regional services or national court to resume the national services desired in part or in full  It is the responsibility of the Regional Ambassador to represent the mayors in these type of cases, unless the Mayor denies Regional Ambassador council. The penalties applied for the Mayor for the city budget for mandatory surpluses do not apply to Regional funds in dispute. (Amendment X)

1. City Budget

He that lives upon hope will die fasting.---Benjamin Franklin

Every candidate for city mayor is required to submit a budget cost estimate reflecting the entire duration of the coming term in office along with a tax rate. This cost and tax rate will be listed along side of every candidate's name. Budgets by their nature are designed to pay for existing city programs. Any mayor after elected to office may use any legal means necessary to pay for programs including, privatization, local tax credit for work rendered, taking bids for work rendered, etc. No mayor may by any means put a budget on the ballot to write or change existing law put into place through public vote. The Regional Bureau of Investigation will be responsible to enforcement this through the Regional Courts. Private Citizens may also enforce this through the county court.  The Regional Ambassador may not offer assistance in any case brought against the Mayor where the prosecuting party is a citizen or multiple citizens under the Mayor’s jurisdiction assuming the funds or legal aid used was not used in part or in full from the regional or national government or an elected member there of within the budget the mayor is accountable to provide for an education for children, which may be done privately or publicly as determined by the city mayor or by county or city vote. Public assistance for individual aspects of the budget may be determined through public vote on the city level. The city must also provide for the City Court system, Police, Emergency Services, Collective Responsibility Laws, Libraries or Voting information and registration, and all other existing public projects and maintenance. Any public utility or service, such as, but not limited to waste disposal, electricity, natural gas, animal control, water and sanitation or hub of transportation, such as, shipping port or airport must also be maintained at public expense through the mayors budget, until such as time that the local government relinquishes their involvement in such areas as expressed through this document or through public vote. A portion of each budget is to be left as a surplus. Any other portion of this list as well as the list for the county budget maybe privatized, eliminated, added to, or altered through public vote. The tax rate for all budgets is one flat percentage rate, which will not fluctuate between the rich and poor. At the city level this tax may come in the form of an income tax, a property tax, or a combination worked out in the mayors budget between the two. Taxation at the national level may only come in the form of an income tax. All government expenses, for non-criminal activities: license plates, public utilities, streets, bridges, etc. for services rendered may only come from the funds collected through the mayors flat tax rate for which he placed on the ballot. Therefore fees collected for public (city, county, region, nation) revenue that was not the result of criminal activity: utility taxes will be considered fraudulent taxation under the guidelines of this document. Such fraudulent fees may include but is not limited to: City Permits, Business Permits, Vehicle Registration, etc. Budgets must include payoff for all past debts with the exemption of the regional and national governments during a time of war where the countries borders are in grave jeopardy.  Should a city divide into two or more cities the city savings from previous surpluses will be divided along population percentages.  All forms of taxation may only be imposed, extended, or increased through a majority vote of Independent Class citizens during the primary or general election and then only within the guidelines as set up through this document or through an Amendment to the Constitution. No money shall be drawn from the treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law; and a regular statement and account of the receipts and expenditures of all public money will be published from time to time. All debts contracted and engagements entered into, before the adoption of this Constitution, will be as valid against the Nation under this Constitution as it was under the old Constitution. Any taxation other than these means is considered fraudulent taxation and is prosecutable by the standards within this constitution in addition to those accepted by national public vote. (US Constitution (Article 1 (Section 2 (7)))) (National Debts, US Constitution (Article VI (1)))(California Constitution (Article 13C(b)))

2. Mayoral Cycle and Salary

Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything its cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it...it really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.---Erica Jong

All mayors must maintain a percentage of their budget to provide for the Regional Budget as well as a portion that will go into a city savings account that may only be used for purposes described throughout this document or by Constitutional Amendment. This Budget Surplus is outlined by the following equation:

Budget Surplus = Tax Revenue (.40(1 - (A + B + C)))

A = City's Population Growth Percentage Rate (Note when the growth rate is greater than 20% the mayor may use the following formula: Budget Surplus = Tax Revenue (.4 (1- 3 (City's Population Growth Rate))).

B = City's Percentage Homeownership Growth Rate where the home is also the primary residence

C = ((Percentage of City Citizens employed by Private Enterprise – (Percentage of City Residences employed by any form of Government, i.e. : city, county, national, international + City's Unemployed Percentage including vagrants)) – National Average

For the first term in office a mayor Budget Surplus is also the Mandatory Budget Surplus. Therefore first term mayors must retain the entire Budget Surplus to be allowed the privilege of running for reelection. The following equation reflects this Mandatory Budget Surplus for Mayors following their first term in office:

Mandatory Budget Surplus = Budget Surplus (.10 + (5(Term in Office))/100)) (1 - (Surplus Achieved in Previous Term / Previous Budget Surplus))

The governor is given the powers and responsibility to enforce these laws through the Regional Court system to ensure the state receives necessary income. Verification of retained surplus percentage will begin the day the mayor's term has ended. Mayors that violate their retained surplus percentage and win reelection before the fact is known will be replaced by second runner up candidate running for office from the previous election. Should this take place the minority elected candidate will serve the remainder of the mayor's current term in office plus an extra one year term with a budget equal to that of the his current term. This new mayor will not be responsible for spending done while the previous mayor held office. Any funds received from taxation during the current term over and above the Surplus percentage may be carried over to the next term in office provided the mayor wins election. The mayor may not use savings from previous years earnings with the following exceptions:

1) Interest collected from previous surpluses, subtracted percentage reserved for the governor, while mayor held office otherwise earned for city or countywide projects.

2) Times of extreme unemployment or war as laid out in this document.

a. City Loans

Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.---George Bernard Shaw

Loans may only be received from the savings in the current budget of other cities. Any mayor reserves the right to accept or reject such a loan. An interest will be made upon endorsement of such a loan. The following budget must include the complete payment of such a loan.

b. Terms In Office

I'm very pleased with each advancing year. It stems back to when I was forty. I was a bit upset about reaching that milestone, but an older friend consoled me. 'Don't complain about growing old - many, many people do not have that privilege.'---Earl Warren, Chief Justice

The first term a mayor assumes office will consist of only a one-year period in metropolitan cities or two years in towns and villages. Metropolitan cities are city's with a population greater than 1 million. In an effort to reward achievement the next term will be based on the growth of the city's population, terms of the percentage of individuals moving into as well as out of a given area. Growth or decline in terms of birth and death will not be considered in that percentage. Each term a mayor has a growth rate above five percent the mayors next term if reelected will be one year greater than the pervious term for metropolitan cities or will round up to the next election for towns and villages. This only applies when the terms are consecutive and within the same city. However, if a mayor becomes governor or president and this is the only reason that individual could not serve as mayor than that individual may seek his next term in the same city as if the individual had never left office, provided he or she wins reelection. Should the city decline by 3 percent by the same standards used to calculate growth the mayor will lose one year if that individual wins reelection. The minimum term that maybe served is one year. Therefore mayors with a declining population and serve out a one-year term will receive another one-year term if endeavored to be reelected.  If a mayor resigns, dies, or is removed before the completion of his term in public office the highest-ranking member of his staff will replace him. Should the mayor die or unexpectedly resign the County Council may vote to conduct an investigation, should they feel it warranted. (The House of Representatives, US Constitution (Article I (Section 2 (4))))

3. Integrity at the Local Level

For all questions concerning government or business ask this question, 'does the thing enable the human spirit? '  If yes support it.  If no oppose it. If neither ask your pastor as the question is neither government nor business.

The mayor is directly responsible for the crimes within the jurisdiction of their city of service and its subsidiaries. If any felony, fraud, bribe is found by the regional government involving any portion of the city government or its relations with outside entities the burden of proof will be on the shoulders of the mayor as to what portion of criminal activity was in his power to prevent. A trial by jury will be held within the city he was elected. The Regional Ambassadors office responsible to defend the mayor. The mayor may choose to decline Regional Ambassadors council. If convicted at the city level by a jury trial the case moves to the county level. Penalties if convicted may include removal from office. Removal from office carries with it the penalties spelled out in (City Budget) of this constitution. Because a sitting governor has an obligation to put an end to such wrongful activities, if it is found that a governor is working in cohesion with such activities the National Ambassador then carries the obligation to prosecute all individuals involved to the fullest extent of the law, up to that of death.

a. Responsibility for Civil Order

You are built not to shrink down to less but to blossom into more.---Oprah Winfrey

If the mayor runs out of funds to the point where city can no longer provide for police and or general protection services the governor of the region may remove the mayor and provide for a temporary replacement until such a time, not to be greater than six months, that a new election can occur. The ousted mayor may call upon the Regional Ambassador to file an appeal to the Regional Court if he feels that the charges were politically motivated rather than based on the facts on the ground, or that the mayor was acting within his rights as specified county law or through this constitution. These expenses will be covered through the office of the Regional Ambassador. The mayor shares a financial obligation to protect the individuals within his city. Willful neglect or negligent use of funds that in turn leads to an inability to provide for the safety and protection services within the mayor's city will not only make the mayor financially and legally responsible for his actions, but will also eliminate the mayor from running for any public office or public service position again unless cause can be determined to be politically motivated through the Regional Courts and outside of the mayor's ability to control. If found to be politically motivated, those individuals involved must be held financially and legally responsible for their actions.

b. Penalties for Fraudulent Taxation

I am looking for a lot of men who have an infinite capacity to not know what can't be done.---Henry Ford

Any taxation outside of the boundaries of this constitution is considered fraudulent. This includes any fees imposed by any section of the government that is greater than the actual physical labor and or materials to perform the task paid for. Also any fee or taxation for a project that has been completed is considered fraudulent. All fraudulent taxation must be paid back by authorizing individual(s), with the exception of 5%, which will be given to the individuals prosecuting the Mayor or National Ambassador. If the lawsuit and conviction is brought on by the Governor double the funds collected from the fraudulent taxation by the city must be paid to the Regional Government for the remainder of the term as well as the next term. Any official convicted of fraudulent taxation that was not approved by city, county, regional, or national vote will be removed from office immediately and indefinitely. Penalties imposed include prison time; as well as additional fines will be imposed by the Regional Court in the Region of the Prosecutions choice. Theft and other forms of criminal activates within the Government environment will hold not only those individuals responsible or benefiting from wrong doing, but also any and all supervisors or leading authority that were given any information that wrong doing was taking place and choice to neglect the offense. The greater the knowledge, the greater the responsibility of the office held, the greater the penalty.  Lenience will be granted for those who bring to light criminal behavior. The Mayor or Governor may hold the Managers and Supervisors under him criminally negligent, through a jury trial, for any failure to investigate or report fraudulent use of funds or waste. Government offices and transparent class citizens do not require a warrant to be searched or investigated. Transparent class citizens also carry the assumption that their rights are known to them. 

4. Integrity at the National Level (Impeachment)

Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity.---Charles Mingus

The local mayors of all counties in the nation, in turn, carry an obligation to see that the national government does not go beyond its constitutional boundaries. The Mayors of the nation also carry an obligation to the people to stop any criminal activities. To begin the process a mayor must request an Impeachment Proceedings from the Regional Ambassador. If the mayor does not believe that the Regional Ambassador can sufficient represent his cause or his Impeachment is against the Regional Ambassador himself the mayor can call for a gathering of the County Council where with a 2/3s vote of support from the County Council he may begin and fund the case. The case will first be held in the city court of the mayor who assembled the Council or requested the impeachment proceedings. At any point in the process the President, Governor, Regional or National Ambassador may plead guilty and accept the punishment of that court, if found guilty the case goes to the county court and, if again found guilty of a criminal offense and not a violation of the constitution the elected official may appeal the decision. If the Regional Court grants an appeal the case will be held in the National Court. Only the High Court can overturn the verdict of the National Court and then only if it chooses to hear the case. If the decision of the lower courts is removal from public office, the elected official will remain in office until the higher level court decides if an appeal is warranted. They have no longer than two months to grant or deny the appeal. If granted the elected official may remain in office, subject to the verdict of the higher court. If on the other hand the case is not a case of criminal behavior, but one of constitutional authority then the county lawyer must show the Court which part of the constitution was violated. The Elected is entitled to a paid legal team from no more than a legal staff of 5 lawyers under his jurisdiction. The Elected official may hirer private legal Council at their own expense. Further more an elected official does not have to attend any trial against him or her unless it reaches the National Court, and even then attendance is only required to take the stand. No Transparent class citizen may refuse to take the stand if called for by the prosecution. Any private citizen may also bring trial against any elected official through the lower courts as well, however, if the case is brought on by a private citizen and not a vote by the County Council then the citizen is not entitled to paid legal Council.

a. Penalties for Governors who fail to perform their duties

Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience.---George Washington

If the prosecuting individual(s) inform the governor's office of their grievance of fraudulent taxation and the governor fails to pursue prosecution and the individual(s) receive a conviction through private funding the governor will be denied all funds from that city or county for the next three terms depending on which level the fraudulent taxation is taking place. If the governor loses election prior to the end of those three terms the new governor will be allowed to receive funds from that county or city. If the fraudulent taxation conviction is found against the governor in county court the case maybe appealed to the Regional Court if the Regional Court believe an appeal is warranted. The final appeal will go before the High Court if the High Court believes an appeal is warranted. Any case involving fraudulent taxation that is overturned through the Regional Court is entitled to due consideration from the High Court for an appeal whether submitted for an appeal or not. If the mayor brings a case against the Regional Government he may keep for his discretionary use any taxation that would have gone to the regional government through his next term in office. If the lawsuit was brought by the County Council all mayors will receive 50% of any taxation that would have gone to the regional government through their next term in office. Willful fraudulent taxation brought on by the National Ambassador carries an Impeachment penalty.

5. City Courts

It's time we asked ourselves if we still know the freedoms intended for us by the Founding Fathers. James Madison said, -We base all our experiments on the capacity of mankind for self-government. -This idea that government was beholden to the people, that it had no other source of power, is still the newest, most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election: Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves. ---Ronald Reagan

The County Council will appropriate the number of Judges needed for each city no less than three months before the election of the mayor. The mayor of that city may render his assessment of the needs within his city to the County Council.  No judge may be appointed to public city court or public courts unless they have passed at least one of the constitutional law exams and sponsored at least one proposal within that county that has become law through public vote or obtained a certified degree in law from a certified University as outlined through powers of authority proposals. City proposals are limited to the Recall vote of Public City Judges as well as the appropriate number of judges that should preside over the city. In order that the mayor does not take advantage of his office the closest runner up has the responsibility of appointing replacements for all needed from the previous term in which the mayoral challenger ran for public office. Challengers may only make appointments to their city. The city may not accept appointments to their city from any other challenger from another city. In an effort to keep a judge from using his retirement at a rearranged time to get a replacement of his liking the closest mayoral runner up may not appoint judges from the current election cycle. Any judge appointed may be recalled by public city vote during the following election cycle provided a petition is signed by a thousand verified signatures or three percent of the city's population, which ever is fewer. The ballot will clearly note RECALL in dark red next to the judges name. Except by the commission of a felony conviction by jury trial the judge may retain his position until the day of the vote and all rulings will stand. If recalled the judge will never be able to serve in the public court of any city in the land. All will receive a salary of at least double the average city and then increase at least one and a half times inflation and may not fluctuate except by county vote. Any increase to his may come about through a proposal on the county ballot and may not target any judges exclusively. Regional and National ballot proposals are except from any proposals related to city courts. A judge may never be excluded from any laws because of the mere fact that he is a judge, however, the judge must be tried within a jury trial for a suspected violation of law. Penalties for all judges are doubled because of the responsibility of the law expected of them. All public judges at all levels are lifetime positions and may only be removed by voluntary consent, felony conviction, or voluntary acceptance of an appointed promotion. Further county laws affecting candidates for city judges must pass with a 3/5s majority county vote as well as a majority vote in at least 50 percent of the cities, towns or villages that make up that county.

a. Private Courts

The human race is faced with a cruel choice: work or daytime television.

Laws affecting the appointment of private judges as well as the private court itself are the sole right of the citizen through county public by with of proposals placed on the ballot.

Section C. The Government Organization of Small Towns, Villages, and Open Land

For all questions concerning government or business ask this question, 'does the thing enable the human spirit? '  If yes support it.  If no oppose it. If neither ask your pastor as the question is neither government nor business.

Geographical areas of five miles or greater dubbed as Towns and Villages where the population is not centrally located one location, but rather, disbursed into several individual enclaves many divide themselves into such enclaves, electing individually for themselves each a different enclave mayor. The enclave mayor is required to hold routine enclave meetings, as residents seem necessary, to discuss issues from time to time. Towns and Villages consisting of multiple enclaves are allowed autonomy from the rest of the county, in terms of budgetary local obligations, not county wide obligations, so that each village may allow different financial opinions and requirements for the each enclave mayor or a uniform set of requirements for all enclave managers in the village. The infrastructure needs and jurisdiction between enclaves may be establish by written formal agreement among the enclave mayors as members of the village or town council and the town or village manager, until the passage of village law through public vote. The village mayor’s budget is responsible for providing for village judges, higher level police investigation processes and infrastructure needs as delegated through village law.  If financial resources are not available or efficient for court facilities the village judge may preside from an adjacent village, town or city. The adjacent town or city may utilize the judge’s serves as payment for use of the facilities, when the judges roster runs low. Laws affecting such judges may be determined through county law or, only as specified here, superseded through regional law. Any county land outside the boundaries of the city or village is considered Open Land. One percent of the value of the last sale price property must be sent to the County government annually for a tax of county services. Land exclusively used for farming may pay a 5% income tax to the county instead, unless the highest city or village tax is less than 5% in which case that rate will be used. The County must provide all residents of Open Land voting and voting material in easily accessible locations, rights to the court and rule of law as well as a education for their children within the nearest public school from the child's residence within the county.
