Hey Doug, on a different note.....

A friend of mine told me Buffalo went to a regional (county) government.

Is that true and if so, how is it working out?

No idea.

Some were winners...some losers when we were forced to become a regional
municipality by our provincial gov't in the mid '90s. For the old city of
Halifax, which was in good financial shape...higher taxes with very visible
deterioration in services...especially police.
