I encourage every citizen who has worked for and supported reform of the NC Annexation laws to attend this meeting if at all possible.
A large visible attendance will make a difference in the outcome.

It is important that everyone who can attend the Annexation Study Committee meeting be seated in Room 544 before the meeting gets underway at 10:00 am on January 30th. The NC League of Municipalities will surely have an organized effort to fill the room with their supporters and lobbyists.
The StopNCAnnexation website is completely dependent upon donations for out-of-pocket expenses. For example, web hosting service fees are $50 a month, in order to maintain our Internet presence. Time spent researching useful information, tracking the legislative efforts, staying on top of news reports about annexations across the State and posting all of this to the website are my unpaid contributions to this cause. Expenses beyond time spent on this effort depend entirely on your financial support. Without it, the website and all of the resources that the website has provided to the cause of reforming annexation will cease to be available through StopNCAnnexation.
