Shared Services DOOMED

I have heard from various people that nobody [both Town & Village] really wants to invest much time or effort into shared services.  I will let the video tell the story:

It looks like the town is going to take over the village. Lower taxes for all. Yippeee, finally! A great idea, Keep up the work town and village!

I think maybe someone should take a good look at some of things being done now that could might possibly be changed. Not that sharing services wouldn't be good, but c'mon is it really necessary to go out and pound the roads for a flake or two? The plow woke me up the other morning and it had barely started to snow. How much overtime is paid for weekends? Evenings? I am all for being safe and keeping the roads cleaned, but holy cow it has been ridiculous. Instead of having everyone work days and sit around when nothing is going on, maybe split the town crew to two shifts, or even three. Could do the same with the Village maybe. Or maybe by combining the two entities have different plow shifts. Overtime is unnecessary. OR how about go to 4 day work weeks for the Village workers. Just have the plow crew work if necessary.

Also, if you are sharing services, why not add in the school? It is pretty centrally located. Might help out there as well. God knows that there are ways to save in all of these venues.
