Preemption, huh? What happens when local regulations conflict with state statutes? What about when state laws conflict with federal regulations? To what lengths can local officials go in creating policy that best serves local communities? Our special guest Adam Schwendeman from Theisen & Brock law firm talks with us about the concept of preemption, and how this concept impacts local communities when it comes to implementing policies. Preemption is an example of a topic that makes us more passionate about our local communities.  Sometimes, it can be a double-edged sword for local control but to fully understand it, we'll dive briefly back into the start of the United States. If you have never heard of this concept and how it may impact local communities, listen in to learn more!
