    I'm indifferent to the water park thing but if that's the catalyst for merging the city governments I vote 'yea'.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow.

    It would be a cold day in hell before you would get the citizens of West Fargo to vote to merge their government with Fargo's. They may cooperate on things like water and sewer and such but would never give up their control of West Fargo.

    I wonder if Bismarck could do it for them, and everyone really? Maryland, for instance has, no city governments. The county is the unit of local government, with the singular exception of Baltimore City.

    I can see why they wouldn't want to since they get the benefits of being able to have so many people work in Fargo without having to pay much of the cost of maintaining the infrastructure... long term that isn't good for anybody though.

    But I'm guessing that isn't your reason So why not merge with Fargo? Seems like it would make sense to have one police department, fire department, court system, etc for what is clearly a single population area.

    How Fargo doesn't have anything remotely close to this is beyond me.
