Consolidating down to 10 or 12 counties (and a like number of school districts, county coroners, etc.) would save massive amounts of taxpayer money that could be better spent elsewhere.
It's not that unusual. Georgia has 159 counties - 2nd only to Texas. Yes, the state population is about 10 million - but 6 million of those live in 28 counties around Atlanta. That leaves 4 million people in 131 counties spread across the largest state east of the Mississippi. If you subtract Savannah, Macon, Athens, and Augusta that reduces the population to about 3 million across 127 counties. That's a whole lot of local government to pay for.
