I work in the land where home rule is king.... or queen. Will it stand up in court... that is another issue......

Most towns/counties in NY... think our towns are a bit extreme.... regulating everything and anything... until someone slaps some big nasty law suite ... and even then... it will be a bitter fight all the way to the supreme court.
