While I agree that there are often problems in local government, reform is the order of the day, not abolition.

I guess I don't understand what the intent of your OP was. Are you just venting? I can see why anyone would--ineptitude and waste are always frustrating. But if not, I really don't get what you're suggesting.

At any rate, if it bothers you that much, why not try to do something about the problem? Go to your county board meetings and register to speak. Meet with your elected officials. Get a group together and develop a petition. Run for office yourself.
