I'd also suggest that local jurisdictions make those choices, quite often, based on what they have the resources to address, based upon how much of their blood, sweat & tears gets expended to justify the result - said result stemming from the authority of their Legislature.

My problem with a proclamation-happy Chief Executive is that they think they just get to "say" and it will be so, resources (and the Legislative authority from the Constitution) be damned. Laws are passed by a legislature, local or national, and that's what's being decided upon in a local situation when someone exercises prosecutorial discretion. A proclamation by a Chief Executive, circumventing that process - local or national - is just that. Local legislatures seem to get more up in arms over Gubernatorial wielding of edicts these days than this Congress has over the current POTUS. In my mind, that's their shame. On that specific issue I agree with Richard; the denizens of Congress should be the recipients of a more discerning eye. This particular sitting body seems to be of the Semper Jello variety.
