Apparently, Royal Oak Twp is in the red and failed to pass a new millage to cover its budget deficit. The News is rumoring of possible annexation by either Ferndale or Oak Park, though neither seems interested. That said, why wouldn't the City of Royal Oak be the main contender? These days Oakland County seems to be mixed bag of solvent and insovlent communities, but one shining star seems to be the City of Royal Oak. It only seems logical that the City would annex its failing Township...? Am I missing something here?
