Jerry, She is talking about cities that are in two counties.
Like New London, Wisconsin do you use New London, Outagamie, Wisconsin or New London, Waupaca, Wisconsin. It's about 50/50 land spread between the counties. and Appleton, Wisconsin could be Appleton, Calumet, Wisconsin or Appleton, Outagamie, Wisconsin even tho' less than 4% of the city is in Calumet County (and it's the county seat for Outagamie. ) which one should you use when you may have documentation but no distinction to which county it should be.
