Reply #27: merge municipalities and get involved in spending cuts [View All]

[straight shot]

People have to quit complaining about local taxes and start attending meetings and demanding they cut costs. We have numerous small municipalities that could merge with other neighboring municipalities and cut costs, but they won't because they all want to keep their jobs. Merging municipalities could save billions in just one state.

The problem with local governments is they just keep spending and spending and spending, expecting rising house prices to keep the moola flowing in.
