Dayton Ohio merger withdrawn

The Dayton Ohio merger with Montgomery County has been withdrawn. I'm glad they made this decision because truly would've been a disaster for Dayton Ohio and the government County. Believe Dan Foley is the bully behind this proposal and hopefully next time ease up for reelection he will not be reelected.

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) - A proposal to merge the southwest Ohio city of Dayton with surrounding Montgomery County has been withdrawn.

A nonprofit group called Dayton Together had suggested combining the city and county governments but decided that wasn't feasible after the city annexed 25 acres in Bath Township, in Greene County. The involvement of property in a different county would significantly complicate a merger.

The Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/1T4RbRT ) reports the city intentionally annexed the land to block a merger.

Proponents of the idea said they hoped to improve efficiency and make the region more competitive.

Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley had opposed merging and suggested it could threaten the city's ability to self-govern and disenfranchise voters. Critics also said the plan didn't address problems it sought to fix, such as job losses.

If you miss “Supersizing,” one soon-to-be-built McDonald’s mcd outpost may be able to fill that void.

What are your thoughts on the Missouri McDonald's that's proposing that they offer unlimited French fries. Truly this is probably very unhealthy for the young and old alike. Obesity in the United States is is really ranted and truly this is really a bad idea that this McDonald's is proposing.

A location in St. Joseph, Mo. was torn down last month and is being rebuilt with various new features, according to local paper the St. Joseph News-Press. Patrons can customize their burgers, chicken sandwiches, and desserts by ordering through a kiosk, and employees will bring their food to their seats, which will be a collection of couches and arm chairs.

But perhaps most striking, according to the News-Press, is that this McDonald’s will be the first to offer unlimited french fries.
