This is not to say that incorporation is going to be the result of the government restructure study now under way. The matter might not even go to the public for a vote. No, the outcome of the study will be largely determined by the effort individual citizens make to inform themselves of the issues and participate in the debate. There is already a wealth of information available and it's as close as your computer (or the library if you haven't yet joined the Internet revolution). The restructure committee has posted many pages of documents to its Internet website, enabling islanders to become fully aware — with no effort beyond reading — of the key issues. Among the documents are questions already posed by members of the public, and the committee's responses. There is valuable information here that ought to serve as a starting point for anyone who has not already considered the implications of restructuring local government. The chief implication is the effect incorporation would have on taxation. Road maintenance and policing are two-big ticket items for which the taxpayers would become directly responsible.
