5. Where were state and local officials during the aftermath of Katrina? Why was this a problem?
As I recall, I think it was the Sunday after the storm that we started asking drivers with truckloads of ice to go elsewhere and find somebody in greater need. You won't find a lot of dissatisfaction with state and local officials in MS. Over in LA, it seems some officials had a higher priority on being in control than on getting things done.

Are state and local officials in states that have legalized marijuana immune from federal money laundering and RICO laws? If so, why?
No. Federal law trumps state and local laws. If someone is charged with federal money laundering and RICO violations, they would be indicted and charged in the federal system, which always trumps any state or local law. As long as the federal government and DEA classify marijuana as an illegal substance, technically anyone can be charged with a federal crime of possessing, distributing, etc marijuana. No one is immune from these charges—even state and local officials. I hope this helps!

Why do federal, state, and local governments not issue stocks?
Stocks are shares of ownership in a private company. Since the government is not a private company it cannot issue stock. Governments issue bonds, which are IOUs, promises to repay borrowed money.
How can we influence state and local governments to be open by default?
“History is made by those who show up.” - Benjamin DisraeliIn my experience, not only are state & local elected officials interested in their constituent’s reasoned ideas, nearly every change to government occurs through an open meeting. It is a legal requirement that all changes to the state code (or even administrative code or, for that matter, municipal code) have a public hearing. Any quorum of elected officials is a public meeting (so, for instance, w/3 county commissioners or 3 port commissioners whenever 2 meet, it is open to the public).If it helps, think of it this way. Elected officials want to be re-elected. They can only do so if they give the voters what they want…so they need to know what the voters want.In my opinion, the problems are twofold. One, too many crazy people go to the meetings (i.e. repeated harping about some problem not under consideration) and there’s a LOT going on, so there’s a LOT of meetings to attend.
