Taggart Opposes Govt Change, Too

Tom Taggart, the former county clerk who did a swell job as the first and only county administrator, comments that he’s going to oppose the Kootenai County government change on the November ballot:

Just so you know, I will be voting no on this also. I have a number of reasons. I think the main issue I have with this is it is clearly going to fail and that will mean it will be a long time before any group of commissioners will try again. There are some smaller changes that could help without making these huge changes. The commissioners did not invite any input and instead relied on past studies. There is no question county government is cumbersome and inefficient and I doubt anyone would come up with the current structure if starting from scratch. However, we are not starting with a blank slate, but rather attempting to change a well established institution. It is also important to keep in mind that a little inefficiency in government in not all that bad.

Question: Anyone out there who is going to support this?
