Beware ‘the blob’ that small government forms
Don't believe in the blob? Consider that Pennsylvania has 500 school districts (about one for every 25,000 people) and levies the 10th-highest state and local taxes in the U.S., according to the Tax Foundation. Compare that to Florida, No. 31 in state and local taxes, with only 67 school districts (one per 280,000 people).
