County Council President Rich Fitzgerald said he supports the idea of a task for for city and county merger efforts. (As reported in the P-G in October, 2006.) Mr. Fitzgerald said he expects the task force to produce an "action plan" for further consolidation. He said he's not looking for another study. "We've had enough studies to fill a bookshelf," he said. "We know that we can save money for taxpayers. That's a given. Now it's a matter of how we can do that." He said it is imperative that both governments find ways to cut costs and reduce debt.
