Have you ever noticed how tax rates are lower in rural areas and higher as you get closer to population centers ?
On the other hand, government services are provided in a lot more pleasant manner and more efficiently in the less populated regions, at least in my observation.
I was again reminded of this as I tried to get some property information and building permit on a property in Mason county. The small county government consists of simple buildings, the people are friendly and helpful and there is no standing in line or taking of numbers.
If that is your experience with government, you would not object to having more of it. To turn you off that idea, all you have to do is observe the same functions being performed in Pierce or King county.
Strange, isn't it ? When an organization becomes bigger, shouldn't it enjoy economics of scale and be able to offer cheaper services at higher quality ?
