Give authority to the most specific (smallest) governing body capable of handling the issues that are particular to them.

The Oregon Portland Metro area requires auto emission testing because we failed national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for decades. As of 2017 we are no longer in violation but Oregon has decided to keep DEQ inspections in order to stay in compliance. Better to stay in compliance than be under a federal mandate and review.
