Laws are not supposed to emanate from the mouth of the governator.
“Laws are not supposed to emanate from the mouth of the governator.”
These emergency powers are a travesty. Something has to be done to severely curb them.
The idea that a governor or a mayor can unilaterally declare an emergency and in the process assume enough dictatorial powers to throw the constitution under the bus is banana republic stuff.
Any emergency declaration must be approved by the legislature and must expire over a predefined short period of time. It can be renewed if the legislature decides to do so.
