Budgeting is not the determining factor of running of county government. Delivery of services is primary. If Oakland is so great, why did they run out of H1N1 flu vaccine while Wayne County keeps having weekly mass immunization clinics? Why does it take Oakland 3 days after a snowfall to clean the main roads when Wayne can do it in one day or less?
