annexation redux

VG is leading the charge towatd annexation, like MS, without bothering to actually DO anything close to due diligence. In the past three months ten VG people that I know have been asked about possible pollution, mitigation fees, zoning, and how the people in the areas to be annexed feel about being annexed, and NOT ONE even knew those issues exist! Is VGs Mayor and Council suggesting that they have done their due diligence in these matters? If so, when was it done? What are the exact dates those issues were discussed? It doesnt appear that VG has done any more due diligence than MS officials have - little and none of any substance. Perhaps the residents of VG do not care about these issues, but the residents of MS DO! 1371 MS residents signed a petition to have a vote and their say on the issues associated with on annexation. To try to stop the vote would be a serious political blunder. This may be one of those rare cases where political suicide might actually be a GOOD thing. We could call it a mercy killing or euthanasia, and the financial suffering of the taxpaying residents would be over.
