Are you skeptical when the government uses the word unilateral? 

 I sure am...following testimony to a Texas Senate committee during the regular Legislative Session “The decision made by the Senate committee was very much a response to the people who came and testified there,” Jeff Coyle, Director, Government & Public Affairs for the City of San Antonio told the Rivard Report, referring to the dozens of property owners who testified at the hearing. “We think it is an overreaction to rewrite the law just because a group of people aren’t happy about the decision that was made. We still believe that cities need to have the authority to annex unilaterally and we will continue to make that case.” 

That appears to be counter to what 10 year-old Riley Stewart reminded us of when she testified in front of House and Senate committees "and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." She simply grounded us in the words from Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. 

Do you support unilateral action by the government on anything?
