Money is the only thing that will get the state’s attention and compliance.

You think arrests and trials would not work huh?

***************

I don’t see that happening. Arresting elected officials would precipitate a political firestorm, ignite a media circus, and probably cause some serious social unrest. It would also turn those officials into sympathic figures, if not political martyrs.

The reality of the consequences would be just too great and disruptive. Cutting funds is all they understand and react to. Money is their life line. Take that away and you starve the beast into submission.

The only thing the time consuming and tedious legal”remedies” will accomplish is to provide a political justification for cutting the vital funds. And it will take many years.
