Plans for major overhaul of councils halted

Comments

1. Lena: interesting they're pulling back on the mergers, wonder what changed their minds
2. Rayanlarsen: you'd think this would actually happen in some of the places they claim it will help most
3. Mirage Talon: it's a good thing some bureaucrats have a conscience i guess
4. Iron Specter: this is a huge relief for those small towns that would've been lost in bigger bureaucracy. it's time to rethink how we do local government, not just merge and call it a
5. Lena: it seems counterintuitive to pause these proposals when there are still so many inefficiencies in the current system
6. Sharmaamir: who gets to decide what a 'more efficient' council looks like anyway? seem like just another way for bureaucrats to justify power grabs
7. Aiden: seems like more bloat in local gov instead of streamlining
8. Mia: still can't wrap my head around why some councils are pushing for consolidation anyway
9. Ariaf: local politics can be such a mess but it's interesting that the momentum for consolidation seems to have fizzled out
10. Elin: i wonder what kind of impact this'll have on local government services and community involvement
