Regionalization movement

From the MRJs Amanda Falcone:

Mayors from large cities, mid-size community leaders and first selectmen from Connecticut's smallest towns were in agreement Monday - it's time for change, and they had a list of proposals that involve regional cooperation and tax increases. They added that the state should not cut funding for cities and towns.

Cheshire is involved with a number of consortiums - from regional public safety agreements to library service buying agreements. I'm not sure how regionalization would improve the situation for the town though. And I also don't accept the notion that taxes must increase every year... well, unless you're a tax'n'spender who simply likes to have money to spend on your own pet projects.

I'm sure Councilman Turf wants to increase taxes... though you'll never hear such an admission.
