I don't think these are layers of government at all.  i think they're geographic areas with legislated tax surcharges.

I think you are correct.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

If an organization has the power to levy taxes it's a government, how is that in dispute?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Bloomberg just announced he will not run because he doesn't want to split the Hillary vote and give the race to The Donald.

The electoral vote estimations from his campaign.

https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/2752893/Bloomberg.pdf

He was obviously aiming for a Sanders vs Trump scenario.

I disagree with the parts of the map where electoral votes go to Bloomberg.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Special districts don't have any power to levy taxes.  State legislatures have powers to levy taxes.

I pay about $44 extra a year on my Iowa income tax because I live in the Johnson County school district.  That school district doesn't have any power to levy taxes; they have power to say thank you to the state government and to spend it.

The article is a bit more alarmist than necessary.  Obviously, someone needs to keep a close eye on these kinds of things, and there is probably some corruption. but they aren't some big secret.  Also talking about the mayor getting West Nile is stupid.

Didn't Bloomberg try to limit big sodas?

Even though I don't drink them anymore, don't fuck with America's soda.

I thought it looked like a doctored pic of that traitorous prosecutor/lawyer from the Crimea who had the 15 minutes of hottie fame...but Google does suggest Emma.
