commentary

In my travels around the city talking to people, I ran into a guy who owns a business in the proposed annexation area. When informed that, under the present plan his taxes will TRIPLE, he simply said he would close it down and move to a different area that is less expensive. IF a lot of those businesses do the same the tax revenues there will fall off a cliff and those rosy tax projections will wind up being a disaster for us. Has anybody on the Council ever considered THIS possibility? Or is it just ANOTHER possibility that is being ignored? Dr. Mel P. Johnson
