Only your comments (MAY) have the power to change things; email the council. Thats what I did. You can reach all the members with one click... council@wilmingtonnc.gov This does work because I received 3 responses that same day! We dont have a vote now but if they annex us they'll sure be a lot of us voting next election! Here's a copy of what I sent: I would like to voice my opinion on this matter. We are one of the 1,500 families that are AGAINST this annexation. We are quite comfortable with the fire protection and the sheriff department we currently utilize and we do pay our part to the City for water use. While we do not have a vote on this now, we will have a vote next election if we are annexed and 1,500 unhappy voters is never a good thing. Thank you for your time. :)
