This story is the greatest news I have heard in a long time. I am thankful that my fellow neighbors and I have successfully fought the money grab that was forced annexation. The city from the start gave us no real reason why this would be better for us. It was obvious to anyone who looked at this annexation that it was nothing more than a money grab. The city has out spent it's current tax base and needed to make up for their mistake. Thank you Mr. Goolsby and your counterparts for taking on the challenge of the current annexation laws and giving the affected citizens an option.
