I am not opposed to the community having a discussion on unified government. I am not opposed to have a panel of citizens and stakeholders assemble a unified government document.

I will be opposed to any position becoming an appointed position instead of an elected position. I was a vocal opponent to the last unification effort due to the concept of the appointed Sheriff supervising the officers that patrol my neighborhood while the elected Sheriff would be the caretaker of the inmates. IE. Chief Jailer.

Any position removed from the will of the voter to a handful of community elitist, will NOT pass on election day. Leave the positions as elected and unification may have a chance to pass and remove the cost to the taxpayers for duplicated services.
