Wag the Dog syndrome

Why does it seem that Oakland County calls the shots for Macomb County ?
[[ the dividing line of Dequindre Road is as solid and real as a real brick wall )


a.) Macomb County cities like Warren use CLEMIS for police, fire, ems, etc.
which is a """"Oakland County Sponsored"" network, website, server
while Hackel recently made a big deal about COMTEC,
a $13.5 million state-of-the-art communications technology center.


b.) Macomb County is forced to "absorb" whatever stormwater
Oakland County dumps into it via the 12TownsDrain.
No one in Macomb gets notified electronically when the Kuhn basin "discharges"


c.) Whatever Oakland County's LBrooksP decides and disseminates ,
Macombs Hackel almost inevitably declares something similiar a few days later .
