Practice question
An otherwise lawful local-development grant is ambiguous as to a modest implementation method. The method advances local quality of life and contradicts no statutory limit. Officials argue Section5(c) requires the narrowest reading solely to minimize all local power. What is the best response?
- Section5(c) directs liberal construction toward local development and quality of life, within law
- Every ambiguity must be resolved to defeat local governance
- The clause authorizes all unlawful methods
- Only a private sponsor may interpret the Code
- No interpretive direction exists
