Local government is officially guaranteed. Local councils and city mayors are popularly elected and exercise control over local budgets.
Practically, the scope of local self-government is limited. A large-scale reformation of the local government (that would require new constitutional changes) is periodically urged since 2000, most actively by the Socialist Party of Ukraine and Oleksandr Moroz.

Famous quotes containing the words local and/or government:
“Surely there must be some way to find a husband or, for that matter, merely an escort, without sacrificing one’s privacy, self-respect, and interior decorating scheme. For example, men could be imported from the developing countries, many parts of which are suffering from a man excess, at least in relation to local food supply.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“If men were angels, no government would be necessary.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
