in response to WizeOlMarco:

In a democracy, county-state-federal governments are supposed to be guided by the constituents they represent (people), not guided by other governments (such as a City). If person(s) want to have a government express their interest then they should appeal directly to that government, i.e. attend county-state-federal government meetings. As a Marco Island resident I do not want my City giving any advise to the county, state or federal governments. Will the City say 'a percent of Marco Island residents seek nullification of federal gun regulations (that haven't even been specified or passed)? Shame to the Marco Island residents for wasting the City government's time and money on this matter.

" If person(s) want to have a government express their interest then they should appeal directly to that government"

I believe we witnessed that last night when a mass of citizens gave testimony to their elected representatives requesting a vote on a resolution. And the elected representatives simply cast a vote, so the citizens can now have a voice cast forward to the state legislature.

If casting a vote on a resolution is a waste of city government than I guess, I must have missed the discussion expressed in Federalist Paper #10.
