A Glimpse of a Different Future?

I'm going play Instapundit and do a couple of 'Hey, look at this' posts with little of my insightful analysis to accompany it.  Anyway, Colorado Springs has just done the sensible thing:

Tired of indiscriminate spending, questionable officials and unnecessary expenditures, the residents of one Colorado city have decided to end the era of big government in their municipality, even if it means mowing the grass at the local park themselves...

This may mean they need to patrol the streets themselves, dunno. I bet streets patrolled by the people who lived on them would be safer than streets patrolled by cops.  I wish them success.
