But, that doesn't mean the rest of the Pointes get to join Macomb County, too, even if they do merge into one. Just consider how ridiculous that idea is.
Perhaps Canton, Plymouth, and Livonia should all merge together and join Washtenaw County. Better yet, why doesn't Detroit decide it's going to merge with Oakland County? Maybe every city can merge with into a bordering county and we can all just forget about Wayne County. Come to think of it, the entire state should just merge into a single county, then we'll have nothing to talk about.
This whole idea is nothing but stupid gamesmanship. If people really cared about lowering taxes, they would move to eliminate the entire lame-ass county system that does absolutely nothing for us but waste money. You know what else would lower taxes? Combining municipal services just like our Republican, I repeat, Republican governor has suggested. Yet, nobody wants to truly make any sacrifice. People croon and croon for lower taxes, but they want to give up nothing. Well, it just doesn't work that way.
