Werner  - during that time, didn't the Greeks come to the rescue of the city 
with a loan for some kind....

AP and many other cities are on the brink. I've said it before - AP is really 
bankrupt - in the 30's, 50's etc....

Someone said the other day of a news story how way back when Michigan (maybe 
1880's) solved their financial problems with raising property taxes - by 800%.

Look at the budget - look how much accumulated sick time you ahve and go from 
there. 

Towns have to merge - especially one horse towns and towns that can't afford to 
own a horse. Do you need state snow plows that have to cross over county roads 
to plow that cross over local towns? 

There are several functions that seem simply to merge - on the state level.  
Tax collection being one.
