One popular question during the recent city council election season was, “Are you in favor of merging City/County Departments?”
The News & Record has a write-up on the issue in today’s paper. From the story,
“That was the consensus Thursday when Guilford County’s Board of Commissioners heard proposals for merging the county’s planning department with Greensboro’s and bringing the county’s human services under one organization.
The sticking point: neither change is likely to save money or improve efficiency.
“What’s the point?” said Commissioner Bruce Davis. “I was ready to hear the arguments, but once they said there were no cost savings and it wouldn’t really improve the work, I just didn’t understand why we would do it.””
