Kings RSC (Sussex, Valley Waters, Butternut Valley and the Kings Rural District) may be split up or amalgamated,
per the TJ, if local elections don't produce governments that can agree on collaboration.
TL;DR the issues with budget approval and trustees are SEVERE. Outcomes could include
-moving Butternut Valley to the Southwest RSC and the other three to Fundy
-merging all 4 entities into a single municipality
I think this is a little excessive. IIRC the dysfunction is pretty much contained to the dispute between Sussex and the outlying areas. The population balance explains the stalemate. Sussex only has 30% of the total RSC population but basically all of its public works and facilities.
Sussex 6,000
Butternut Valley 4,600
Valley Waters 4,600
Kings RD 4,700
I'm of the opinion that either Kings RD should be turned into a municipality of its own (we have FAR less populated municipalities) or Sussex should have been enlarged to ~10,000 people, with Butternut Valley/Valley Waters/Kings RD set up as a 'donut RD' with about the same amount of people. Ship has sailed on the latter option, of course. But this is way too large of an area to be a single municipality, and that won't fix the issue.
