When we have too much government, our small business owners are strangled, suffocated, and crucified by the confiscatory taxes/fees and impossible regulations, ordinances, rules, statutes, issued by multiple, over-lapping, redundant levels of government.
What about abolishing unconstitutional joint power authorities? Rescind their misconduct, abolish them, and privatize their businesses. If any core government function is left, then put it back where it was before: Public Works Department of the county.
  “What should government do, and what should it leave to others?” – Norman Y. Mineta; former Secretary of Transportation, former Congressman, former mayor of San Jose.
