CONSOLIDATION NOT THE WAY OF NATIONS
I WOULD like to ask that residents of Roanoke County who have decided to
vote for a consolidated government or are undecided that the Roanoke
Metropolitan Government is in their best interest to give serious
consideration to this: If a consolidated government is such a grand and
powerful idea, then why is the world divided into separate nations? Most
importantly, why is this great nation of ours divided into 50 separate
"sovereign" states? DENNIS A. BRAGG ROANOKE
