What do you need?

A couple of days ago I posted about a survey on what people think they need. Today I would like to change the focus to government.

Here in northeast Ohio there has been a lot of talk about reforming county government due to the corruption in Cuyahoga county. My question is in this day and age with cities running together do we really need state,county and city governments. I think not' a practical solution might be eliminating county government all together. If we allowed the state to appoint administrators by region with staff of about 100 many redundant jobs could be eliminated. This would also lessen corruption being that every four years a new election would have a chance to change the political landscape. You say we have this now well not quite you see on the county level especially around the bigger cities parties are entrenched Dem or Rep. Where on a state level we see control flip-flop from one party to the other.

  1. Bob,

    Concur that the current form of county government is outdated and rife with corruption. I did a post about your idea and some of the obstacles.
