The sherrifs are technically the highest law authority on the land as per the bullshit paper constitution at least. Local so-called govts bow for funding.

The dynamic is kind of frustrating, because it's the citizens in those states and local areas that are generating the income that taxes come from in the first place. Why does the fed get the extra taxes when they're only using it as a carrot (or stick) that they're giving back anyways?
