Even though it is obvious SOME wanted it because it represented change and change is always good. or so they seem to say. Interesting how these things start out: "We just want to study the question of whether it would be a good thing" and then it morphs into: "Well, the people wanted us to give them a proposal to vote on" and then it morphs into: "The people wanted it but the politicians wouldn't let us have it." But I'm being cynical again. Maybe the idea was: "We were asked to look into the question and decided that it is unquestionably a good thing if it is done THIS way. Anything else is out of the question and if you didn't like it, you should have gone to each meeting and said so." Personally, I think we can get by under most political systems but the idea that there was a mandate for change to this specific proposal seems ????? David knowing there is much distrust REGARDING:

Besides, it's probably best for us that this did not go to a full public vote considering what the inept masses are capable of doing. Heck the country elected Obama who is now shoving the government take over of health care down our throats, and just think if these same voters can be swayed a little, we'd all have to pay for Pensacola's boon doggles too, which is just what the backers of consolidation wanted. So be thankful that the public didn’t get to vote on consolidation!
