In the American system of federalism, cities are subsidiaries of the state, and plenty of states have restrictions similar to the one Mayor Barrett struggles with. But the issue, sometimes called \u201cpre-emption,\u201d is getting more attention as some statehouse moves are increasingly seen as being motivated by politics, or even a racial enmity.<\/p>\n<p>A <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nlc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/NLC-SML-Preemption-Report-2017-pages.pdf\" class=\"icon none\">2018 National League of Cities report<\/a> noted that state legislatures had used pre-emption more aggressively in recent years. \u201cExplanations for this increase include lobbying efforts by special interests, spatial sorting of political preferences between urban and rural areas, and single party dominance in most state governments,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n<p>More to the point, the report noted, \u201cRecent pre-emption has pitted rural- and suburban-dominated state legislatures against cities with large populations of low wage earners and ethnic minorities.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"cx-membership-tile\"><\/div>\n<p>Milwaukee is a majority-minority city, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.census.gov\/quickfacts\/milwaukeecitywisconsin\" class=\"icon none\">according to data from the Census Bureau<\/a>, and about 25% of residents live below the poverty line. It votes <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/city.milwaukee.gov\/election\/ElectionInformation\/ElectionResults\/2020\/November\" class=\"icon none\">decisively Democratic<\/a>. The state legislature, in contrast, is <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/legis.wisconsin.gov\/\" class=\"icon none\">mostly Republicans<\/a>, and overwhelmingly white.<\/p>\n<p>Asked whether he thought the legislature\u2019s actions were racially motivated, Barrett said \u201cI hope not. I think it\u2019s a winning political philosophy for the rest of the state to be pitted against Milwaukee and Madison,\u201d which also leans Democratic, but is much whiter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPre-emption happens all the time,\u201d said Matt Fabian, a partner with Municipal Market Analytics. \u201cIt becomes an issue when non-rational reasons drive decisions or where the state sees the city or its residents as an adversary. There can be a certain tribalism that hinges on race or how people vote.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fabian, whose firm offers research for municipal bondholders, calls politically-motivated pre-emption \u201can underappreciated risk in the muni bond market. In general when cities default it\u2019s less about finances and more about what the state does to <em>not<\/em> help the city navigate a situation. The political factor, the relationship and potential antagonism between a city and its state, is widely under-investigated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Municipal-bond defaults <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.msrb.org\/msrb1\/pdfs\/MSRB-Muni-Facts.pdf\" class=\"icon none\">are vanishingly rare<\/a>, but conflict between city and state is a common thread in many recent episodes of municipal distress, which have often occurred in places where the city\u2019s residents are primarily Black.<\/p>\n<p>Many public finance observers believe Detroit was <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.michigan.gov\/formergovernors\/0,4584,7-212-96477_90815_57657-308595--,00.html\" class=\"icon none\">hustled into its bankruptcy<\/a> by <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.michigan.gov\/formergovernors\/0,4584,7-212-96477_90815_57657-296124--,00.html\" class=\"icon none\">a state government intent on imposing its will on the city<\/a> \u2014 <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aclumich.org\/sites\/default\/files\/Hammer%20MCRC%20Testimony.pdf\" class=\"icon none\">the same dynamic that caused years of financial distress<\/a> and a public-health emergency in Flint.<\/p>\n<p>Two years before Detroit, what was then the largest municipal bankruptcy in American history took place in Jefferson County, Alabama.

And he doesn\u2019t agree that state-level policy has what\u2019s often called \u201cunintended consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn a lot of areas, the role of state pre-emption and the ability to limit taxing at the local level is a very well-constructed apparatus that allows for gerrymandered state legislatures to impose their will on diverse cities,\u201d he said. When states limit cities\u2019 policymaking abilities, \u201cyou make it hard for progressive interests even when they have support among residents. You hamper their ability to finance progress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The conservative notion of \u201cstarving the beast\u201d \u2014 limiting taxation both for its own sake and so that governments don\u2019t have revenue to spend on programs \u2013\u2013 <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jstor.org\/stable\/24562740\" class=\"icon none\">isn\u2019t new<\/a>.

A <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.epi.org\/publication\/preemption-in-the-south\/\" class=\"icon none\">2020 report<\/a> from the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute notes that legislative moves are \u201cdisproportionately harming the same communities that have been pre-empted from taking local action, limiting their ability to effectively combat the public health crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report, which focuses on the South, calls pre-emption \u201cembedded in a racist history.\u201d Pre-emptive laws \u201care passed by majority-white legislatures and tend to create barriers to economic security in cities whose residents are majority people of color.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the pandemic, state lawmakers have pre-empted local measures, like masking policies or shutdown orders, that would help keep vulnerable people safe, even as people of color were more likely to be \u201cfront-line\u201d workers or employed in jobs that didn\u2019t allow them to work from home, the report notes.<\/p>\n<p>A just-released report from the Pew Charitable Trusts looks at the limitations states impose on local taxation through the lens of the COVID economic downturn.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe pandemic has created significant economic uncertainty for local leaders, with many experiencing large revenue shortfalls that make balancing budgets all the more difficult,\u201d the Pew report notes. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen local governments struggle, states pay a price, too\u2014because of lost jobs, reduced tax collections, diminished services, and, in extreme cases, costly state bailouts. To minimize harm during economic downturns and support localities\u2019 financial stability over the long term, states could review any policies that restrict local budget flexibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>See:<\/strong> In one chart, how U.S. state and local revenues got thumped by the pandemic \u2014 and recovered<\/p>\n<p>But Barrett calls it ironic that Wisconsin finished 2021 with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/wispolicyforum.org\/research\/a-golden-opportunity-for-wisconsin\/\" class=\"icon none\">a $2.6 billion surplus<\/a>, and expects an even larger one next year, yet legislators can\u2019t find a way to share any of it with locals.
