Is anyone else in the States dealing with retards trying to abolish county government?
From what I know, the main concern with my county is that it's the highest taxed place in the country. And no, its not like we're all wealthy or even in the middle class. For the last six or seven years many people have been moving away because of how high the cost is. Since Connecticut is literally less than a fifteen minute walk away from my home (my town borders Greenwich, which i believe is CT's richest town and one of the top towns in the States), most people move to our neighbor state, and really get there money's worth over there. The second most popular place people have moved to was all the way down to Florida. And elder crowds have merely moved up state New York, which is financially preferable but boring as fuck. I went to visit some friends who moved 20-30 miles inland CT, and their homes are HUGE, and they've paid half of what the homes over here are worth. It's unreal, and this was years ago- long before our economy is in the hellhole it's in now. Example, one of my friends had enough property to go ATV'ing in.
But, anyways.

And yeah I'm very surprised/disappointed that the reports on this is limited.
