Topic27 vs 77 Counties
ContentWhen Oklahoma Counties were formed the concept was to have government close to the people. The size of the county was meant to be small, so that the county seat will be no more than a days wagon ride from a persons home. Today's transportation makes all places in Oklahoma only a days ride. It is time for change. We need less counties. Back in 1967 we restructured District Attorney and reduced the number down to 27, that number would also be a good for the number of counties. It can also be argued that the number can go lower. We have ACOG, ASCOG, INCOG, SWODA working with counties, cities and towns. In stead of having the County be the administrative body of the State, make COG's and ODA's the agent.
