Read out of context, sure. But the proposition is that local governments are captive to certain special interests, and are making bad policy as a result. If you were to say that local governments do a bad job of policing, the remedy is to hire better policemen, not to get rid of criminals' rights.
I'm still waiting for a conservative to defend the idea that a local government should be able to take land to run its own shopping mall and parking lot, but shouldn't be able to take the land and privatize the operation.
