"Get rid of states? Legal scholar Stephen Legomsky, who taught for 34 years at
the Washington University in St. Louis School of Law, has just published a
book, “Reimagining the American Union,” that proposes a radical idea: Abolish
state government.
The Conversation’s politics and democracy editor, Naomi
Schalit – a former statehouse reporter herself – interviewed Legomsky about the
provocative idea behind his book, in which he advocates moving most of the
functions of state government down to the local level, closer to those
represented and governed by it."
That’s been suggested here in Australia as well, and with even more
justification - with a total population of under 27M, do we really need three
levels of government?
