Petty fiefdoms are exactly what all these governmental entities are.
I'm not sure which is worse though - many small money-grubbing fiefdoms or fewer, larger money-grubbing kingdoms.
Less overhead, but the corruption opportunities are that much larger.
I think it is astounding a city official in a tiny city like Bell could get away (for a while) making almost $500K per year.
