The irony of it all was that the City pulled out of the County back in the late 1800s so that wouldn’t have to spend its money on the country bumpkins in the County. I believe they got it written into the state’s Constitution. So fast forward two or three lifetimes and the City wants all that sweet, sweet county money.
I believe there were some who said opposition to the reunification were doing it for ‘racist’ reasons.
For those who don’t know, for many years a Federal Judge required county schools to accept students from the city to pay for the sins of segregation. The state was required to shoulder the costs. Busing you might think, but many actually took taxis to and from school. I’ll bet a lot of county residents grew tired of the “diversity” in their kids’ schools.
> ‘racist’ reasons.
The word has lost all meaning.
Tough shit.
