Paul Posner pens a guest column in the Seattle P-I challenging the presidential candidates to address the needs of state and local governments. Posner even suggests a presidential debate where local officials ask the questions:

How can we jump-start a national debate that recognizes the intergovernmental realities of the U.S. system of governing? Let's have the first presidential debate in which the candidates face a panel of state and local officials, nonprofit organization heads or others who are on the firing line in real life, and let them ask the questions.

I like the way he thinks!
