Having had to deal with the county regarding behavioral health and various different school districts I agree. There are lots of municipalities that would benefit from this, but I simply don't think that the "merger" would go smoothly. I think a lot of the bigger, more affluent municipalities would fight it tooth and nail because they'd lose their affluence.

Yep, that's the entire problem, every little local mucketymuck wants to keep their fiefdoms.
As much as Texas annoys me, they had the right idea with their consolidated school districts and hospital districts.
