Donna Mae Reichenbach lives in a small town. She leads a simple life and lacks many of the frivolous possessions that so many people take for granted everyday of their lives. Mrs. Reichenbach is a fine citizen of the town of Merillan, Wisconsin. She has probably never missed a major vote in the half century that she has been allowed to, but in recent months she has been a push in the state of Wisconsin to disrupt her simple life. This push does not come lightly. Pressure from the capitol has started to land all over the state, all because of money. .
Wisconsin's Alliance of Cities has proposed legislation that would disband all of Wisconsin's towns. Representatives from the Alliance of Cities are motioning to dissolve every town government in the state and have the town's respective counties and neighboring cities to pick up the slack left by the void. This supposed solution to state budget shortfalls seems very nearsighted and fails to take into consideration the third of Wisconsin residents who live within small towns, active citizens such as Donna Reichenbach. A move to consolidate small community's governments would make the services these governments already receive slow and inefficient. The governmental structure of towns is firm and the relationship that towns hold with other existing governments is exceedingly competent. A consolidation of basic services would not serve the all of the state's citizens fairly. And here is what Mrs. Reichenbach had to say about current situation, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!".
Small town are billed as having "general purpose" governments set up by the state or perhaps the county in which the town is located. The label "general purpose" means that these governments provide basic services used daily by the citizens of these towns. Building roads and maintaining them, libraries, fire departments, police departments, garbage pick-up, and snow removal are all basic services that towns offer to their residents.
