Hi asda2.  Those 4,000 people don’t spend that much money to generate $10 Million in sales tax revenue.  It’s the entire communities that spend to generate this amount of tax revenue.  But, the problem is that Mobile has not included the entire communities in their annexation area.  Mobile doesn’t want all of the communities—they just want the commercial/retail business areas when the sales tax revenue is.  They’ve cut these other voters out and are not allowing them a voice in the annexation.

oops thing should have been think

I am sorry but I do not thing 4,000 people spend enough money to generate 10 million in tax revenue.

Annexation Opposition Meeting in Semmes/Crawford

Opposition Meeting—Thursday, September 18 @ 6:30 PM.  The meeting will be held at Crawford United Methodist Church (7470 Moffett Rd)

The only polling place for the Tillman’s Corner vote is in Theodore.  It is also the only address not listed as Mobile, AL.

Shouldn’t Wal-Mart on Mo-fat Rd. be a polling place? Everybody (almost) goes there and will be directly affected by this gross abuse of greed.

Is the monthly sewer bill going to be 80% of the water bill or what ? I mean after paying the connection fee.

There is a high ratio of renters in Mobile Terrace and they do not fully understand that the new expense the landlord will incur will be passed on to them in the form of increased rent.

BamaBob & Others—someone called about how much it is going to cost them to hook up to City sewer if the annexation is approved in Semmes.  Guess how much the estimate was for their home?  Over $3000! 

There’s alot of older homes on those streets who are on septic tanks.  I can imagine that these people are definitely going to vote against annexation expecially when they find out that they will have to go on city water (if they are not on it already) and on city sewer.

BamaBob - it’s called gerrymandering people out of voting and also Lasso-ing to get the big sales tax revenue.  This should be illegal.  It is dishonest.
