C ITY-COUNTY consolidation continues to be much discussed by government leaders and reformers who see governmental fragmentation as a key to the many problems in urban areas. Interest aside, the political obstacles of achieving consolidation, especially via referenda, are universally recognized. Consolidation has been much more discussed than the number of adoptions appear to warrant. There are serious questions being raised in the recent literature as to whether city-county consolidation is still, or ever was, a viable reorganization alternative for most of metro America.1
