And Massachusetts!

In MA, counties and municipalities are organized and run separately. Cities are chartered whereas towns are not. Counties used to have more power and functions, but were curbed in about 30 years ago. Counties do not run the towns. Addresses are not based on the location of the post office (one feature of PA that I really dislike). Most towns have an annual Town Meeting where elected residents can vote on various budget items. School districts are NOT separate taxing organizations. They either get approval from the Board of Selectmen (and sometimes Town Meeting) or go back to the drawing board.

I replied to whomever I replied to for whatever reason I decided to reply. Why you are such an ass about it should not be a problem for me. If you cannot understand, just move along and bugger some other person.

Ah so you were answering a different post than the one you replied to

Ah, no, you reacted without thought and then decided to be a dick about it instead of admitting you misunderstood. Move along now, dingus.

My point was to identify the Commonwealths that don't have lots of municipal level governments.

New England's town meeting system is interesting, it's one of the few areas where direct democracy is used.
