Peace
I work in a state where the assignors did have too much power when it came to state assignments. That was one of the major reasons our commissioner got voted out a few years ago and caused a major rift in officiating locally.

Now the state asks for names of officials from each association to attend a state tournament eval camp every summer. So now, in order to work a state tournament game you have to be recommended from that camp or have officiated a state tourney game previously. The first year of this camp our commissioner refused to send in any names. The next year he did the same and got voted out of office.
