This is a becoming to be a common tactic by GOP state legislatures in the South for such issues like higher minimum wage, transgender and plastic bags banning. And these are governments that are crying against federal government prempting them. Yet, these folks have no problem doing it to municipalities. Same thing happened in Birmingham before I left. One community voted to raise the minimum wage. You should had seen how fast Montgomery slapped them down.
