Goodbye, Gary?

Quicher whining, Gary, and learn how to cope with the property tax caps:

Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels wants struggling cities like Gary to consider merging with other local governments to become more efficient and reduce costs.

I dunno. Gary is pretty much the poorest excuse for a major city in the country. Instead of finding more efficiency by merging with other local governments, it's more likely to bring them down to its level. Oh, wait. I just a fabulous idea. Gary should merge with Merrillville, and we could call it -- wait for it, it's coming -- Gary Merrill. He's been dead for nearly 20 years, so he won't mind.
