Should some local governments be consolidated or eliminated?

For example, we've often pointed out the fact - DuPage Township provides duplicative services.  Why not save the taxpayers $2.1 million a year by eliminating the Township (with the exception of the Assessor's Office).

What do you think?

  1. Could this spell the end for the Dupage Township?

    We can only hope......

  2. services of the township which are necessary could be continued under another branch of government. There is much duplication of services. Likely several townships could be consolidated. just think of the savings of eliminating supervisor and trustees who serve no useful purpose.

  3. Absolutely Cedra. I have long advocated that Townships inside the collar counties are redundant and I support this wholeheartedly. For those of you who feel DuPage is bad, you should check out Wheatland.

  4. Just another power base for the not so honest politicians.
