 Marquette, MI, USA. Michigan wants to control the tax revenue mineral mining brings in. Some local governments on the Upper Peninsula see that as a violation of their rights.
It’s a long drive from Marquette to Lansing: more than 400 miles in all, including a five-mile trip across the Straits of Mackinac, divider of Michigan’s peninsulas. So it’s easy to see why local officials here might not feel connected to lawmakers in the state capital.

 Washington, DC, USA. As budget situations have improved in recent months, more states — especially those with Republicans in charge — have considered tax cuts again.
Heading into this year’s legislative sessions, conservative lawmakers in Kansas and Oklahoma hoped to enact big income tax cuts. Some even aspired to make Kansas or Oklahoma the first state to eliminate personal income taxes since Alaska did it in 1980.

 Washington, DC, USA. The federal government leaves most insurance regulation to the states, but passage of the Dodd-Frank law inserted the feds more deeply into the mix.
Congress passed the 848-page Dodd-Frank law two years ago to try to prevent another financial meltdown like the one that sent the economy into a tailspin in 2008. It rewrites many of the federal rules covering banks and insurance companies to prevent businesses from becoming “too big to fail.”

 Washington, DC, USA. The US federal government drastically reduced its funding for renewable energy so the states came up with some unusual ways to try and replace the money.
Hawaii in recent years has been good to the solar industry, and that's not just because the state's geography promises a steady supply of rays.
