Comments on: Simple meger or true reorganization? http://www.centergroveinc.org/2009/01/11/meger-or-reorganization/ Following the future of White River Township Tue, 27 Jul 2010 13:57:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Mike Gerrish http://www.centergroveinc.org/2009/01/11/meger-or-reorganization/comment-page-1/#comment-31 Mike Gerrish Tue, 13 Jan 2009 16:36:08 +0000 http://centergroveinc.org/?p=286#comment-31 I have followed the concept of local government reorganization since the enabling legislation was introduced in 2006's legislative session. As such, I have found that most who talk about reorganization do so through their own parochial filter - like "I want this...therefore, it means that." This is one of the best assessments (that I have read) of the potential that the legislature has provided. It truly is the ability to redefine local government and how it is provided to the impacted taxpayers. An exceptional opportunity has been laid at the feet of seven individuals. I hope they seize it and really do look at what local government should be and how it should be provided to the taxpayers in northwestern Johnson County. By the way, my parochial interests are that I'm a resident of Greenwood in Pleasant Township and a member of Pleasant Township's board. And, I have served as a member representing the role of Township Board on the board of the Indiana Township Association.

By the way, my parochial interests are that I’m a resident of Greenwood in Pleasant Township and a member of Pleasant Township’s board. And, I have served as a member representing the role of Township Board on the board of the Indiana Township Association.

I have to agree. There are limits to what the committee can recommend. But I have a sense that there are many citizens of WRT who now feel a new urgency to consider the possibility of incorporation. Since this website is all about listening to the citizens of WRT, Greenwood (and Bargersville, for that matter) I'd like to hear more opinions on this topic. Certainly, I think that self-incorporation provides the best opportunity to provide desired services at the lowest possible cost. Dann centergroveinc@gmail.com Thanks for your comments, Larry.
