yes, kansas counties are way too small. they should have a 100k population minimum per
states are also too small
Tx, OK, KS, NE, SD, and ND should form our own nation - the Republic of Republicans. Charge like hell for the food and oil we produce. Have a flyover tax - Obama will make us rich with his CA campaigning.

Everyone has easy access to their county seat. The locals get the services/ordinances they want. The idea that people are subjected to more beaurocracy because there are more county governments is laughable.

It could be a quite a local/county tax savings for the people in those areas if they would just collaborate.

They would still have to fund all of those services and they'd have to either send their kids to a school hundreds of miles away or pay for a similar amount of administrators as they are already paying for.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning. They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

We're talking about consolidating counties - not states.

He was talking about reducing the western half of the state to 16 school districts.Your statement is still geographically Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!), unless those school districts would be narrow bands stretching from the southern border to the northern border - and that would be pretty silly.The Western half of KS is almost exactly 200 x 200 miles. In a grid, that would equal 16 50x50 mile counties.But I'm no expert on geography - maybe Rusty can weigh in.
Wow, did you guys realize that the entire western half of Kansas has only 313k people, or about 11% of the entire population of Kansas? The same western half of Kansas is divided into 46 counties, or 44% of all counties in Kansas. Nearly half of all counties (and county governments) for a tenth of the population. Seems pretty inefficient to me.
