Description
A
photograph
of a
sign
protesting
Metro
Consolidation
,
circa
1962
. There was a
substantial
protest
movement
against
the
consolidation
of the
city
and
county
governments
.
Some
opponents
argued
that
creating
a
single
government
entity
would be
more
costly
in the
long
run
and would not
meet
public
service
needs
of the
community
. The
anti-Metro
sign
pictured
reflects
a
general
paranoia
of
Communist
plots
to
overtake
local
governments
in the
United
States
.
