Problem: States try to change local governance through fund withholding or creating regional organizations. Local officials and citizens aren't persuaded by these tactics even if the rejection denies them funding or more efficient services.

The textbook points out that state legislatures often overlook municipal interests. Do you think this is a reasonable explanation as to why locals don't embrace state inducements of new programs for local governance?
