Annexation Update
The House Judiciary II Committee handed the League of
Municipalities a victory last week. In a near partisan split
the J2 Committee’s 10 Democrats voted against annexation reform
and the 7 Republicans voted for true annexation reform.
Ironically, annexation reform is not a partisan issue. It
doesn’t make a difference it you are Democrat, Republican,
Black, White, Latino, Oriental, Indian, male, female, young or
old, forced annexation affects everyone. How this vote boiled
down to we-verses-they is unfortunate but the League of
Municipalities came out triumphant. The Legislative leadership
stood pat with the “hired guns” for towns and cities against the
citizen’s voice in the annexation process.
All is not lost. The “League’s annexation bill”,
H524 was passed to the House Finance Committee and they will be
revisiting this proposed legislation on Thursday, July 02,
2009.

It is time to protect our
constitutional rights and
individual freedoms!
We intend to provide a forum that fosters communication between
citizens and those who represent us, both at the municipal level
and the State level. We hope to facilitate this
interaction by
making it easy for you to contact local and State
representatives to let your voices be heard. By providing you
with enough information to become reasonably educated on the
issue of forced
annexation and by making it easy for you to communicate with
your local and State representatives, we hope to
INSPIRE you to
contact each and every one of them! We believe people who
become educated on the issue will
reach
similar conclusions about the injustice of forced
annexation and will do their part to help get
annexation reform legislation passed into law.
It is up to us to make our voices heard, and if we come
together, we can make a difference!
Please
use
the information provided on this Web site to
become educated on the issue of forced annexation. Through
education, we believe you will become inspired to contact and
persuade those who have the power to,
Make 2009 the year of annexation reform!
