City of Muskegon officials concerned about financial prospects of neighboring communities

City of Muskegon officials concerned about financial prospects of neighboring communities MLive.com
"One way all of the municipalities in Muskegon County can strengthen their collective financial condition would be through functional consolidation of services, Warmington said."

Muskegon worried about its neighbors financial stability?

Consolidation is simply another word that means taking money from rich communities and giving it to fiscally suicidal governments.

If the city fathers were so generous and forward thinking, why not consolidate with Muskegon Heights right NOW?
