80、The following is a letter to the editor of the Roseville Gazette.
  "Despite opposition1 from some residents of West Roseville, the arguments in favor of merging2 the townships of Roseville and West Roseville are overwhelming. First, residents in both townships are confused about which authority to contact when they need a service; for example, the police department in Roseville receives many calls from residents of West Roseville. This sort of confusion would be eliminated with the merger3. Second, the savings4 in administrative5 costs would be enormous, since services would no longer be duplicated: we would have only one fire chief, one tax department, one mayor, and so on. And no jobs in city government would be lost---employees could simply be reassigned. Most importantly, the merger will undoubtedly6 attract business investments as it did when the townships of Hamden and North Hamden merged7 ten years ago."
