Senator Brooks McCabe will be presenting a talk, followed by questions and answers, on Joint Government this evening (September 11) in the auditorium of Martinsburg High School beginning at 7:00 P.M. The subject should be of interest to many in our county.

Joint government can take several forms ranging from consolidation of Metro and county governments or consolidation of County and County governments, or the consolidation of only certain services. Senator McCabe is the State’s most visible and committed advocate of consolidation of governmental services. The purpose of the presentation is to discuss advantages and/or disadvantages of joint government. Possible advantages are cost efficiency and more efficient delivery of services. Senator McCabe will also present the argument that consolidation of services will make us more competitive from an economic development standpoint.

The event is free to the public and all interested parties are invited to attend and learn more about the concept of joint forms of government. Print Add a Comment Back to All Articles
