The way news media reports things today on legislation I would rather read it str8 from the gov,t website. The actual bill itself.

Page 34 talks about consolidating municipal gov'ts into one. They will obviously loose elected officals in one of the two being consolidated.<br />Talks about school districts in there also and I did not see where an elected school offical can be fired by the emergency financial officer.<br />Correct me if I am wrong about any of the above.

Want to find out if an elected offical can be fired or not?

Looks to me like the governor wants fiscal responsibility all the way down the line. Gives local gov'ts and school districts time to get their budgets in line. Otherwise an emergency financial manager will be installed.

I reckon it is part of the job of a governor to see that his state is run on a sound financial basis at all levels.
