My view is: If your county government can't be run by means of 3 by 5 cards in show boxes, it's time to move. Also, your new county had better have a large inventory of cards and boxes.
At the end of this article is a sales pitch for a $15 report. That report is already posted on my site: "One County's Programmer Fights for Its Survival." You can download the report for free.
