Well with the popularity and pull of Barack Obama on the Democratic ticket, it helped ensure the other members of the party and their respective local victories..
It should be noted that previously many Democratic Senators and Assemblypersons have taken the initiative to try and sneak in consolidation legislation for "special districts" which include the fire service, local Towns, etc. and were defeated.
With the shift, hopefully the mindset of "yes we can" and "change" does not effect logical people making very important decisions because i wouldn't want to be one of those consolidated Districts due to an idealistic idea..
