Reeve Zimmer decries mandated municipal amalgamation
In a detailed editorial, Reeve Zimmer argues against forced amalgamation of towns under 1,000 people, citing loss of local voice, higher potential mill rates, and concerns about efficiency. He cites Shellmouth-Boulton’s 1999 success and warns that larger areas will erode identity and local decision making. He asks what positives exist and stresses elected officials should decide.
