Did the district court have the jurisdiction to interfere in the city’s discretionary action?
This court reverses the trial court’s judgment; the trial court has no jurisdiction to interfere in the lawful discretionary act of local public officials. The trial court has limited authority to implement its judgment over a discretionary act of the city officials, unless it reviews a crime or a violation of legal compliance. The trial court also does not have the authority to specify, how a local government will implement its discretionary actions.

Kelo v. City of New London was a case that peaked my interest. To me, this is a classic case of government overreach. Let us start from the beginning.

She had always dreamed of owning a home on the water and painstakingly restored it to it 's former glory.
Personally, Sally does not have a defense under the First Amendment. This is similar to Roulette v. City of Seattle. Sally has the right to her freedom of expression, but that does not include her sitting or lying. Sally was blocking an area of the sidewalk that is considered a commercial area between 7:00 A.M.-9:00 P.M. and that is not permitted. This statute makes it where access to buildings are easier therefore blocking it creates congestion and it interferes with the access to it.

MILLERSBURG — Looking into the face of the man she assaulted, a Killbuck woman who was high on LSD when she became violent with a Holmes County Sheriff 's deputy responding to a disconnected 9-1-1 call in October, said she was sorry. Kaetlyn M. Weber, 20, of 424 S. Main St., previously pleaded guilty in Holmes County Common Pleas Court to a single count of assault.

And, while he tried to reassure her he was there to help, “You got violent with me
According to Dent v. City of Dallas, the court ruled that police officers performing discretionary duties in good faith and acting within the course and scope of their employment are immune from personal liability under the doctrine of qualified immunity. The question that is presented in this situation is whether or not the police officer was acting within his course and scope of his employment. As a nation we have endowed our police officers with the right and authority to enforce the laws on whom they choose. Whether or not we reach the realization to this reality however is another story. The police officer has to use his ability on whom to arrest and not arrest responsibly because his actions do affect society.

MILLERSBURG — Despite a plea for leniency expressed by the victim, a Sugarcreek man was unable to overcome a long history of criminal convictions and a bond violation when a Holmes County judge on Wednesday sentenced him to prison for making unwanted phone calls and threats to several members of a family over a period of months.

The charges are made more serious because Schrock was convicted, in January 2016,
It is common to see either a council- manager or mayor-council government in populated cities. Generally, these two commonly used forms of government greatly differ in terms of structure. The mayor-council government is commonly used in large cities New York and Chicago and certain of the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest. The council- manager government is common among in southwest cities such Phoenix, San Antonio, and Las Vegas. Cities usually have a population size of ten thousand or more commonly use the council- manager form of government (NLC.org, 2017).

In order to compare and contrast varying types of government within two or more countries, one must have a clear definition of Government and know the purposes it serves. Therefore, I did some research and I have established that Government is a group that exercises dominant power over a nation, state, society or other body of people. Governments are commonly responsible for constructing and implementing laws, handling money, and defending the general population from external threats, and may have other obligations or privileges. All over the world, there are many different types of government within countries. Each kind has its advantages as well as disadvantages regarding the general well-being of its peoples and economy.
