Wilmington City Councilman Kevin O'Grady, what value is there in being annexed? Trash? Are you kidding? I use Trash-It-Now for FAR less than the city can provide.

WPD instead of County Sherriff? Are you kidding? The City is all about revenue. Tickets bring cash. How about address the violence and drug issues instead of traffic infractions.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for consolidation of all the redundancies. I feel bad for all my "City" friends that pay increased taxes for NOTHING.

I guess the message is the same as the one the Federal Govt is getting: work with the money you have (or downsize for the money you don't have...) and stop thinking you can just extent the borders of your tyranny to refill your coffers.

Democracy is making a comeback. Way to go Monkey Junction!
