County laws are subordinate to state general laws.When Ed Rosenthal was arrested for executing a city law,one of the decisions the court made was that the city law conflicted with the state law.So in order for the county or City to be able to adopt any versions of law,the state charter authority requires that the state law specify that the county,and city can make their own laws.

Home Rule Charter County Authority

Home rule charter counties have broad authority to provide for purely local governance issues. The state supreme court has ruled, however, that, under the state constitution, county home rule charter rights are subordinate to express state law requirements that go beyond matters of local concern. The court has concluded that the state constitution expressly relegates county home rule charters to an inferior position vis-a-vis "the constitution and laws of this state" where the matter involves public policy of broad concern, expressed in general laws. For example, the state supreme court has concluded that home rule charter counties are free to provide a different time for election of county officers. However, they have also held that ordinances enacted to implement a county's comprehensive land use plan as required by the Growth Management Act cannot be subject to amendment or repeal by referendum power granted in a county's home rule charter.

After adoption of a charter, the powers, authority, and duties of county officers provided for by state law are vested in the county legislative authority, unless the charter expressly assigns powers and duties to a specific officer. The duties of the board of county commissioners and other elected officers may also be modified by charter. The board of commissioners and other elected officers may be entirely replaced, subject to certain restrictions.

Home Rule in Washington State

We are again at the mercy of a state legislature that is too afraid to stand for something other than put jobs in the blue page section of the phone book.
That is why resceduling and forcing the BOP to apply the schedule 1 test was ,and is the fastest way to empty the manure out of the policy bin.

If me or anyone else can raise 10,000 bucks by July and hire a heavy hitter to take this case case to court,we are close enough to the hoop to slam dunk this baby.

That Iowa ruling really helps with this petition
