I sure hope this effort fails. Asking a higher level of government to meet our local needs does not make sense. Can you get personal service from the County? Are they as responsive? My opinion is "no!"

I am paying the County 7 times as much in real estate taxes as I pay to Greenwood Township. Does the money come back in the form of services? NO WAY! Our County tax dollars are funneled down to Duluth, where most of them stay.

If our fire department goes away we could be paying the insurance company every dime that we are currently paying to the Township for fire protection, planning and zoning, and to represent us with the County.

Do you think the County would have tried to fix the rumble stripEs if it were not for our Township Board raising a stink? Do you think the County would have reconstructed County Road No. 77 without the nearly constant lobbying by the Town Board? How would you like to wait for the County to open the waste transfer site so you can recycle your cans and bottles? There are many, many good things that we get from our local government and I for one wish they had more responsibility, not less or none. Rick Sathre, Greenwood Township
