I live in the area that the City of Bryan intends to annex. As I read through the legalese and try to comprehend it with my simple minded understanding, I'm having trouble understanding why they are skipping over Everything front the current city limits to Knife River and the small community just to the west of them but then reaching into the pockets of everyone else around Rellis. I smell cronyism... How much does it cost to get left out of the land grab?
Greg Abbott signed in a law that is suppose to allow land owners the ability to vote on whether or not they would like to be annexed into a City. Why aren't we being allowed to do that?
Does the COB really expect me to believe that "key growth areas along roadway corridors with high visibility to help prevent poor quality development" means OSR to Thompson Creek but not the land right next to the current area they already control?
Why is the COB and the City council rushing to force this through? We didn't get to vote for them, so they should not have the right to reach in to our pockets without granting a vote. Just because something is "legal" doesn't make it right.
