Our schools are already

overburdened, and finding the millions of dollars they

need to deal with the problems growth has thrust on them

appears almost impossible. Our roads are gridlocked

during peak periods, and relief is many years away due to

pollution issues. Our taxpayer-owned sewer system needs

repairs to help it keep sewage out of our drinking water

supply. With all these problems to deal with already, why

would our elected officials want to add even more

problems to the mix by annexing this land?

The only real winners from

annexation will be the property owners who will see their

land become a part of our city. One must ask the

question, if our mayor and council are elected to

represent us, why are they pushing so hard for this

annexation when we won't benefit from it? Too bad they

don't focus their energy on issues that will have a

positive impact on our city.

The council session March 2

will be the place to be if you want to be heard. Let them

know that your interests and concerns should come first.
