Consolidating the Special Districts

I am tired of special districts being used as a scapegoat for voter ignorance and apathy, abuses by elected officials as well as staff, and for about every other ill that plagues government. Consolidation just will not solve voter apathy or ignorance.

However, in the quest for a possible solution, I suggest the following: Let’s just sweep all the special districts as well as all the cities in Orange County into one “super city” governed by the Orange County Board of Supervisors. We might call the new super city “Consolidationville” or better, “Confusionville,” or still better, based on the record of honesty and integrity displayed by members of the Board of Supervisors over the past 25 years, “Graftville” or “Corruptionville”!
