I'm pretty sure they did. I think that still qualifies as extortion, but it's not like you can run and tell on them.

The official term is "unfunded mandates". If you want fed money, you must do what fed wants.Originally Posted by Irving

That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
Like being bribed with your own money.
It could be considered that way. The money sent to the feds does a lot of different things. There are so many ways in which local, county and state govt entities can get a piece of the money. In the example mentioned by Irving, the feds stated they would withhold highway maintenance funds if the state didn't raise their legal drinking age to 21. They have done that with other mandates as well.
