He could probably do a LOT more for the folks in the Lake Rogerene area of Mount Arlington, but no one has ever cared about us over in Lake Rogerene!

At least not yet… [plotting]

FYI.

It will be inevitable. Many of the services that are provided are duplicated at the municipal level which does not make sense. As Northern NJ reaches full buildout from the highlands and downzoning efforts, the need (passion)for local home rule may ebb creating a consolidation effort. I see these towns of 3,000-15,000 people becoming 50, 000 in population when consolidated. Efficiencies might be possible with higher populations but at some point it becomes unwieldy IMO. BTW I met Ondish last week, nice guy and very aware of the issues.
