Why of why do most/all these places need separate mayors, city councils, municipal administrators, fire, police, city services and on and on and on and on and on ??
It's all one big city, let's slash the fucking monstrous overhead of duplicative duplicated and redundantly redundant redundancies and focus on services for the people ?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Jesus Fucking Christ, is everybody fucking allergic to municipal consolidation ??
Because that is how representative government works. As a population grows the representation and services have to grow with the population, and just like anti monopoly concepts it is not a good idea to have everything under one umbrella. Just like our government could not work if it only had the original 13 state representatives.
I'd be frightened of one big government to cover all this if it were GOP run. Look at what the GOP has done to Michigan and Detroit and Flint. That damage is not coming from the local level, it is coming from the state capital level and the federal level.
If you want something like that, fine, but it has to be under a balanced system and right now our GOP gerrymandered system is favoring the GOP nation wide.
