To be effective, devolution must be pushed as far as it will go. State governments can be just as bureaucratic and burdensome as the federal government. We must bring power and money back to the communities, families, and people from whom they were taken. This will enable more people to support non-profits, providing effective groups with more diversity and stability in funding. Perhaps, best of all, by enhancing community involvement, the service rendered by non-profits will be improved.
Devolution is an impending political reality.
