Talk:Aurantia, Florida

Briefly incorporated
The only other mention I can find is from : "A diverting story is told of the little town of Aurantia, Florida. In 1917 it yielded to the clamor of its women citizens and granted them municipal suffrage. At the same time—not wishing to do things by halves—it voted into local office a full slate of feminine candidates, neglecting only to provide for the annual tax levy. Unaccustomed to the ways of government, the newly enfranchised candidates had failed to notice the fatal omission until the reins were in their hands. Then it was too late. No taxes could be raised until the next local election. The neophyte politicians had no choice but to finance the town's running expenses with voluntary contributions from its citizens, and serve without pay themselves. It is reported that one term was enough for the crestfallen ladies."

Presumably it was dissolved soon after, but usually the state will pass a law for the dissolution of a municipality. --NE2 22:22, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
