North Carolina Forced Annexation
May 31st, 2009 . by Robert
The North Carolina Senate is attempting to side-step the popular opposition to the practice of forced annexation. The anti-forced annexation opponents want only three simple things – 1. meaningful services, 2. oversight of the process of annexation, 3. a voice in the process. All three requests are well within reason and logic when it comes to government seizing anything from the people. Annexation seizes the income of those annexed as a source of revenue for the municipalities, often without an exchange of any meaningful services. By definition that is theft!
Help give the people a voice against government abuse. Call, write, or email the members of the newly created, heavily biased sub-committee. Tell them SB711 will not do as it does nothing for the citizens. Support Senator Larry Shaw’s SB494.
Please be courteous in all exchanges with elected officials and their staff.
