Unified Greeley County seeks unification to save services
Greeley County and Tribune residents push a plan to merge city and county governments into a five member Unified Greeley County board. The proposal would require dual city county majorities and a fall election, with a potential start in January 2009. Proponents say consolidation would boost efficiency and preserve services amid population decline and falling tax base. About 117 attended a Tuesday briefing at the county fairgrounds, the best turnout among public meetings. The plan calls for a preliminary outline by May 30 and final vote within 30 days after hearings.
