I'll back a voluntary annexation, if it materializes. You're on the hook now.<BR/><BR/>As for forced annexation- it's still wrong, period.Mike Kolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17573721231319244630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5366199.post-1147408485349711212006-05-11T23:34:00.000-05:002006-05-11T23:34:00.000-05:00OK I guess things were a little slow around the ra...OK I guess things were a little slow around the ranch here so you thought maybe you'd rustle the bushes a bit to get things going again. Alrighty I'll bite. Similar situations are almost never identical. If Jeffersonville has no cause for annexation then we should oppose it. However if the J-ville police are making 1000+ runs a year into the area, J-ville is investing in infrastructure in the area and it can afford to maintain the existing infrastructure in the area and the area is contiguous to J-ville then it should be annexed. Simple!<BR/><BR/>FYI the discussions between some of the neighborhoods in the proposed annexation area and Fishers to arrange voluntary annexation are much more than rumors now.<BR/><BR/>I noticed that the oh-so-exclusive and guaranteed-sell-out fund-raising event at Bella Vita still has tickets for sale.<BR/><BR/>It was funny that after the strong-arm Oxy-Contin robbery at the CVS in geist last week, who did we see providing information on the details of the crimes' investigation AND the trailing announcement of the perp's aprehension? Sheriff Carter? noooo. PIO for Neighborhood Patrol? nope! Good ol' Fishers Police Department.<BR/><BR/>Some unwitting candidate in the election two weeks ago actually placed a referendum for annexation on the ballot.
