As far as unfunded mandates go..... I am a local level control type, and don't like them. I think they need to be looked at on a case by case basis to decide what should be done about them.

Reading this exchange gave me a thought.
We have had candidates run for office using a pledge of "no new taxes" as their campaign cornerstone. What if a group of candidates were to run for office using a pledge of "no unfunded mandates" as a campaign cornerstone?
It seems to me that there is a certain logic and symmetry in this.
If nothing else, it would make for some interesting debates.
