Quoted from senders

consolidation DOES NOT equate to lower taxes....PROVE IT....

it's all about the VALUE of taxes paid....the government could never run like a corporation like golub...why?
because then politicians (like Bruno) wouldn't have friends to vote for them....there are the watchers for the watchers
for the watchers etc etc....

Consolidation would eliminate the duplication of senior and middle management positions.  There is absolutely no reason why a county of about 150,000 persons needs 8 municipalities and  6 school districts.  1 consolidated local government and 1 school district would make the most sense.

Your second paragraph is a bunch of nonsensical comments put together.

You are missing the fact that government is not a business.  The budgets are created out of politics. What prevents the school districts and police union from consolidating their political power and money to influence who gets elected and writes the budgets in the newly consolidated agency?  The interst groups within the government will follow the power.

You are missing the FACT that taxpayers are paying for a NEEDLESS DUPLICATION of administrative and management offices.  There is NO reason to have 6 Superintendent of Schools, 6 Business Managers, 6 Transportation Managers, 6 or more Assistant Superintendents, 6 sets of District clerical staff, 8 municipal executives, 8 municipal clerks, 8 municipal receivers of taxes, and on and on .. no need.

There are MORE taxpayers than there are unionized employees -- the taxpayers have the power to influence who gets elected and who writes the budgets and who writes the contracts.  Sadly, most taxpayers are either complacent, hate change or satisfied with the status quo.

I would say intimidated is the word.  I watch the black shirted thugs enter the Town Hall and intimidate council members when someone dared take just a little bit of power away from the coppers.

The UN ITED STATES OF AMERICA is incorporated,making it very much a business.....fact!!!!
