California has the unique ability to enact its own laws and set agendas independent of Washington, but this autonomy is limited by federal ownership of nearly half the state. The federal government controls significant land holdings in California, which adhere to federal policies. This has created a disparity in governance, especially regarding environmental standards. Moreover, issues within the DMV regarding unclaimed towed car profits highlight further complexities in state governance, where the agency reaps benefits without notifying rightful owners of their entitlements.
California has the ability to partially insulate itself from Washington politics through its own state laws and agencies, but federal policies dominate on public lands.
The DMV's practice of keeping profits from unclaimed towed cars reveals troubling oversight, as owners are entitled to these funds but are not notified by the agency.
