Answer 1

All of these little towns should be annexed to avoid the duplication of costs which just drive up property taxes.

Answer 2

All small town have the same problem. Take a lemon and turn it into lemonade. Take advantage of it being small.  Get into politics.  The old saying "if you cant beat them join them.  Make friends in town and let your friends know your thoughts and if they have the same sentiment. Run in the next election.  Run the bums out!
