The people finally have a very good piece of legislation moving through the State Legislature after all these years of asking for REAL reform of the annexation laws.
This is legislation that delivers justice and fairness to those to whom justice has been denied for half a century.

This is great news. I've sent a letter to Senator Elaeanor Kinnard and Fletcher Hartsell of the Senate Finance committee urging them to report the bill favorably out of committee. You can see the letter at The Do It Yourself Citizen
