Good question, but the answer depends on what you mean by "local." The small city where I grew up in TX had a mayor, but many decisions were made at the county level, by elected county commissioners.

The governer of Texas, Sam Houston, was vehamently opposed to Texas seceding from the Union. Ultimately, the state's government felt that the states were giving up too much control over their affairs to the Federal government.

This is quite long, I apologize.  According to The Encyclopedia Americana, regional councils instrumental in organizing Catholic churches in Spain, Britain, and elsewhere were “often called and dominated by the secular power.” General councils of religious leaders from the whole Roman empire “were unknown before the Council of Nicaea (325 A.D.),” called by Emperor Constantine. British historian H. G. Wells suggested that Constantine brought politics and autocracy into an already deeply divided Christendom. Wells wrote: “Not only was the council of Nicæa assembled by Constantine the Great, but all the great councils, the two at Constantinople (381 and 553), Ephesus (431), and Chalcedon (451) were called together by the imperial power.” But how could God approve of that, since true Christians do not try to mix their religion with politics but, rather, maintain strict neutrality?—John 17:16; James 1:27.\n\n“Later general councils were frequently overshadowed by imperial church politics and the rivalry of the major patriarchal sees [areas controlled by a bishop or an archbishop],” adds The Encyclopedia Americana. Since such church councils were marked by ecclesiastical politics and rivalries, they bore no fruits of God’s spirit such as love and peace. Rather, they were marred by fleshly works that included “hostilities, bickering, jealousy, . . . selfish rivalries, dissensions, factions.” With reference to works of the flesh, the apostle Paul warned: “Those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God!” (Galatians 5:19-23, the Catholic New American Bible) Therefore, how can it be said that Christendom’s church councils have been approved by God?\n\nThe history of the Church under [Constantine’s] influence becomes now therefore a history of the violent struggles that were bound to follow upon his sudden and rough summons to unanimity. From him the Church acquired the disposition to be authoritative and unquestioned, to develop a centralized organization and run parallel to the empire.”\n\nThe determination to stamp out opposition led to dreadful atrocities. Most of those pronounced guilty of heresy against the popular dogma of the council were burned at the stake, suffering the agony of a slow death as a public spectacle—supposedly in the name of Christ!\n\nFor instance, the Council of Constance (1414-18) was called to end bickering over who was the legitimate pope and to deal with the heresies of Wycliffe and Hus. Thirty thousand horses are said to have carried people to Constance for this great event. During the council, John Hus was tried and condemned, then turned over to secular authorities and burned at the stake.\n\nWhat About Doctrine?\n\n. To illustrate: In 325 C.E. the Council of Nicaea introduced the doctrine of the Incarnate Christ, or God-man. This denial that Jesus was in fact a man became one of the most misleading doctrines of Christendom. (Compare 2 John 7.) Why, it has turned millions away from Jehovah God to a confusing Trinity! None of the councils held thereafter made any attempt to rectify this error. Yet the Trinity doctrine is clearly unscriptural, for Jesus said: “The Father is greater than I am.” (John 14:28) Could God possibly approve of any council that obscured the truth about his identity and that of his Son?\n\nAs also noted in the chart, among the doctrines endorsed at Christendom’s church councils were baptism of infants, imposed and required celibacy, purgatory, and hellfire. However, the Scriptures do not support infant baptism, such celibacy, and a fiery hell, nor do they make any reference to purgatory. (Matthew 28:19, 20; 1 Timothy 4:1-3; Job 14:13) Since those desiring Jehovah’s favor must worship him “with spirit and truth,” how could he approve of councils fostering false doctrine?—John 4:23, 24.\n\nThe encyclopedia Hidria says: “Constantine was especially interested in Christianity because it backed up not only his vic

In Manhattan most doormen are unionized. I'm sure it's the same around the country. First find the union number, like Local 552, then you could find a list for doormen.

Pablo Escobar of Columbia.  He was quite the man, very rish and well connected.  He was kind of like Al Capone, in that he gave a lot back to the community and really looked out for the poor and needy.

I'm a Houston native so the U. of H. and the Texans are my teams. I have a familial link to U.H. One of my uncles played on the very first U.H. basketball team and scored their first points against N. Texas St. I'm also a Cornhusker fan because they beat Oklahoma in one of the best ever games way back in the early 70's.

Those sneering guys are the ones that are protecting the chief from being shot at by someone in the angry mob standing behind the news cameras.\nAll kidding aside, they are his public relations people and the deputy chiefs. He drags them up there to let them feel a little of the heat he is taking. And maybe to protect him from the angry mob too. \nHe has to carefully word his statement because whatever he says will be used against the Department and the City in a civil suit, and will be played on every TV news channel, and may also used against him personally in later years, should he decide to run for any other pubic office.
