As debate swirls over the fiscal future of Milwaukee County government, [Milwaukee Alderman Terry] Witkowski has proposed a November advisory referendum on whether the county should be dissolved and all or most of its functions handed over to City Hall. ...The south side alderman said concern about property taxes, county service cuts and the county's financial woes has created a historic opportunity to consider combining Wisconsin's two biggest local governments, potentially saving taxpayers money.
That assumes that the City or County of Milwaukee has, in practice, produced economies of scale. How about a study on breaking up the City into suburb-sized municipalities?
