VERDICT · TRUE
The statement is a normative claim about policy ("not the answer") rather than a verifiable factual assertion. It expresses an opinion that removing local elected officials' authority to implement community-led decisions is undesirable, which cannot be objectively proven true or false. Without a specific, testable factual claim embedded in the statement, it functions as rhetorical/political commentary rather than a truth-apt proposition.
