We also buy the services of trash haulers. I lived in a city where there was on hauler. And prices were simply stupid. Someone bribed the city council to let them in and we had two. Guess what happened to prices ?
Someone bribed the city council? Or someone finally said, "Cleetus only done picks up the garbage once every month, and the Raccoons done be getting into it!"
Is this what you do when you have no argument ?
You seem to do it a great deal (which answers the question).
We do buy the services of the police and firemen. We pay for them. They negotiate contracts and if they don't like the contract, they will go on strike (and you'll have sub level performance). Imagine that.
Cities, to the best of my knowledge don't let you opt in or out. If you live in the city, you agree to pay.
Counties on the other hand have been known to let homes burn because someone didn't pay the fee.
