The more conventional way to do this would to have a single
get_counties action in the Cities controller (or expose counties as a
nested resource of cities, but you might want to leave that for
another day). Your if you change your ajax updater to make a request
to /some_controller/some_action then all of the pages using this
partial will make their ajax requests to the same place
