Thank you for this work Jim; it puts forth cogent arguments against the effort. I have not done the in-depth analysis that you have, but I have been troubled by the lack of a ‘need’ argument. I do pay attention - or at least think I do - and I have not been aware of any expressed problem or issue that has become so pressing that the establishment of a new governmental unit has become necessary. It appears to me that those driving this issue have chosen to present it as something so obvious that everyone would support it, and instead want to deflect attention away from the question of ‘why’ and instead get people focused on the ‘how’… the details of different funding approaches. I still need to hear about the problem we are fixing first.
