That's a fundamental difference between a "city" and
"township" though. There are many townships that took the
next step of incorporating as cities, with all the
reponsiblilty that entails, to avoid being annexed.

'We, in Ireland, can't figure out why people are even
bothering to hold an
election in the United States. On one side, you have a
woman who is a lawyer, married to a lawyer, running
against a lawyer who is married to a woman who is a
lawyer. On the other side, you have a war hero married to
a good looking woman who owns a beer distributorship.
What are you lads thinking over there?'- author unkown
