Thought Experiment: Consolidating 3 Counties into 1
I submit to this illustrious body the following thought experiment:
Consolidate Wayne, Oakland and Macomb Counties into a single entity to streamline services and facilitate a move toward regional, metropolitan governance.
The Michigan Constitution permits it, provided the people want it:
- Sec. 13. - Consolidation of counties, approval by electors.
Two or more contiguous counties may combine into a single county if approved in each affected county by a majority of the electors voting on the question.
