Buda May Move to Home Rule, But Would It Really Matter?

News8Austin: Buda wants to expand government to Home Rule

The city of Buda passed the 5,000 mark, and now residents can choose to change the way local government operates.

Texas law basically tells cities how to run themselves until they reach a certain population. Now that the magical number's been hit...
"It allows the citizens to really express how they would like their government, their local government to be defined and what the duties and responsibilities of their local government are," city administrator Robert Camareno said.

It sure does allow a greater degree of local citizen expression. It also does absolutely nothing for those individual dissenters from the majortity.
