QUOTE
MICHIGAN CITY — After having functioned as a separate entity for more than 80 years, the town of Pottawattomie Park could merge with the city of Michigan City in 2019 if residents of both places vote in favor of the potential merger in November.

Patrick Donoghue, town attorney for Pottawattomie Park, approached the Michigan City Common Council on Tuesday to let them know he intends to submit a resolution in June that would add to this year’s ballot the option for city residents to vote on the merger.

The referendum would require one vote more than 50 percent in both Pottawattomie Park and Michigan City in order for the merger to get the green light, Donoghue said.

Who is going to finance the referendum?

Who is going to pay to have all the homes tie into the city sewer system?

As it stands right no I am voting NO to this merger.

For a town that is shrinking and is in dire need of population and high end population at that, this is a terrible take. Even if it takes some infrastructure investment, it will more than pay for itself in the long run.

Mr. Donahue said at the council meeting tonight that the referendum will not take place until 2020.
