Thoughts on Vibinc Blog
Vibinc's blog was another blog about Consolidation. This blog was very unbiast and talked from both sides' perspective. He talks about how consolidation would help the increasing debt of both the City and the County. This is one of the major considerations for consolidating. Although this is high on the list, other questions need to be answered for the County to even consider this. How will consolidation improve things such as our Police and Fire Departments? How will the quality of schools be affected? And how will simple things such as trash and recycling be handled? Last, but not least, what about the Government? These are all major questions that need to be answered, that havent. Vibinc also talks about a peice of Propraganda that Mayor Herenton used at his state of the city address. Mayor Herenton seemed to be threatening the people who don't live in the City with a Consolidate or Else approach! What do you think?

I don’t really know that much about the consolidation issue, and I’d never really thought about all of the issues that it brings up. I guess the topic is a lot broader than I had assumed at first. So, are you still against it? Have you picked one of these issues to focus on?
yea i agree with you it is a very broad topic like most of the issues that we have to choose from. All of these issues that this topic brings alone is amazing. By the way where have you been.
This is one tough issue. Consolidation will affect everyone in the city in positive or negative way. I don't know much about the issue, but if this does happen a lot of people are going to be very upset. The government is going to really have to listen to the citizens and understand what their stance on the issue is. If they prove that it's going to be a good move for the city, then I don't see a problem with it.
