Why are they being such weenies about annexation? All these people living on the borders of our town, reaping the benefits of the town's hardworking tax payers. They complain that their free-ride is coming to an end. Our council and town staff backed off like a bunch of weenies.

I deleted my first post on the subject because I suspected the original poster was just looking to stir up trouble. But after thinking about for awhile, I've decided he/she may have a point. Since Cary's most recent ETJ request looks like it will get tabled, what is Cary's plan at this point? Have they backed off the annexation agenda altogether? Are they working on a comprehensive plan? Are they waiting 'til after Fall elections? If so, what then? Anybody have a clue?

I hope they have not backed off. I think these people in our ETJ know they have a good thing going and I can understand them not wanting to lose it. However as a taxpayer, I am tired of picking up their tab.

I think you hit the nail on the head Don. However, with the "threat" of year-round schools looming large in our area, I think the council can go back to a full court press on annexation. The School Board Strikes Back! :roll:

That' not nice guys.....why do you want to inflict our city council on other people? It's bad enough we have to suffer Shoeboy, the dim RINO, et al, with their obsession over colors, font sizes, and "public art". Misery may love company but do the content need to be made miserable?

In another circumstance I'd agree with you because ultimately your point is correct.
However, I'm not convinced the annexations aren't done solely to raise tax revenue, ie that the city plans its spending with an eye towards meeting future commitments by annexing more land. And, *IF* the city were only spending money on the necessities and fully funding those necessities as well.
Our own house is not in order, that's what makes me not want to inflict these stooges on others. When this council tries to give away, what's the latest bid?$30 million? to the Cary and Triangle swim clubs for that aquatics palace, we have issues we need to attend to ourselves. Rather than spread that misery we need to first boot these buffoons out of office.
Hell, Jack was stung on the doggie park issue last month when it came out that the city council had been conned into approving funding $40,000 to build the **** thing for the Cary Dog Club. These people didn't even know what the hell they were voting on. What gives us the ethical right to inflict this group of yahoos on residents of the unincorporated areas? They can't even manage the current budget and agenda items adequately.

John,
The issue on spending priorities is an important one and I hope it will be thoroughly aired in the next election.
The issue of fairness and equity in having those in the unincorporated area being subsidized by the taxpayers in Cary (and every other muni in Wake) is a totally separate issue. Any candidate for office in Cary who does not take a strong pro-annexation stand, for whatever rationalization, is not protecting the interests of Caryites. As far as I am concerned it is a real litmus test. In fact, if a candidate does not take a clear position on the issue, I will assume they are anti-annexation. The voting records of those currently in office will be tracked and recorded. An anti-annexation vote will come back to haunt them. As far as I am concerned there is little or no room for shades of gray - you are either for us or against us.
Here is a list of those against annexation and the interests of those in Cary that you have the opportunity to vote AGAINST in November's election. County Commissioner Kenn Gardner and NC Representative J. Russel Capps. For future reference, Wake Commissioners Tony Gurley and Phil Jeffries and State Senator Richard Stevens are among the supporter of anti-annexation legislation. Gardner, Jeffries and Gurley have been trying to hinder Cary's ETJ expansion and annexation efforts despite the fact that the current law is on Cary's side. There are tons of other reasons to vote against these candidates now and in the future.
The issue of spending priorities is one where everyone will form their own opinion - there is endless room for different points of view.

Stan,
I cannot say you are wrong, because you're not, but -- and this is merely a personal observation/discomfort, I wouldn't support annexation in the current climate for the reasons I cite above. Spreading incompetance in the current climate is not going to resolve these funding discrepancies. It is merely going to spread the incompetance, giving the city council greater access to more funds they will then abuse in fiscally irresponsible ways.
The people in the ETJ would have less reason to fear annexation if the city government in Cary were not so reckless with spending on non-priority issues. So the people in the ETJ are not paying their "fair share" for roads, how is annexation going to solve that when Cary is cutting spending on roads and blowing the cash on "public art", the aquatics palace, etc....etc...? Seems to me that *IF* the city were NOT spending the money on the non-essential, non-priority items and was fully funding the basic priorities the folks in the ETJ really wouldn't have an argument to make without making themselves look cheap and petty. However, currently, they have a pretty good argument.

In Cary, they (but they don't admit it) annex to create divide because high taxes forces out lower incomes.
Tell me this Rono, why does Cary have two of the largest "trailer parks" in Wake County? Why did Wake County place a ban on trailer parks in the 1980's and the only ones left are "grand-fathered." No, Rono, if it was "class warfare" all the "trailer parks" in Wake County would of been gone ages ago.

One cannot dispute that higher property taxes adversely impact those with lower incomes more than they do the more well-to-do. But that's only half of the of the economic equation. The other half, especially here in Cary, is what services the Town supplies does to the value of property and homes.
The millions that the Town is spending on ensuring that Penny Road and Kildaire Farms Road do not become overly congested adds value to Dutchman Downs. As does their proximity to the highly popular Regency Ampitheater which the rest of us subsidize. Do you think anyone from Dutchman Downs were among the thousands that attended the free Labor Day and Forth of July concrts there? Why do you think the developers in the UA advertise their proximity to Cary's parks and other amenitiies? And the increased value of the homes in Dutchman Downs can be converted into added income through refinancing of mortgages and investments.
Or how about the residents in Dutchman Downs who work in Jobs in Cary?
Other municipalities charge suburban commuters an income tax for the services they provide. Wouldn't that be fair? And when the rest of us support infrastructure and services to bring in new employers or support existing employers - does anyone in Dutchman Downs offer thanks? How many jobs are created or supported in the unincorporated area? Hundreds of us here in Cary volunteer or time, effort and expertise to make Cary a better place to work and live? Those living in Dutchman Downs benefit from that effort. Isn't it time the freeloaders in Dutchman Downs buy a round of drinks? Or how about the sheriff's patrol in the UA which taxpayers in Cary help pay for. Those living in Dutchman Downs take that all for granted. They want to keep the services which those of us in Cary pay for and not pay their fair share. And along the way they take every opportunity to slander Cary - such as the non-existent parallel to Trenton.
But Rono sees things only from a highly distorted lens where each and every action by the CTC is exaggerated and distorted to support his single politically charged point. In fact the protesters of Dutchman Downs have a lot for which they should be thankful to the Town of Cary and its taxpayers.

It puts a little humor on the source of the your post. Based on your writings in other places, I know that you are from one of those "People's Republics" states in the upper mid-West. You expect "us" (the locals) to conform to your standards of government and democracy(socialism). What works in the "People's Republic" states doesn't mean it will work in N.C.

Rono,
Since you seem to like northern approaches to this matter, let's compromise, no annexation, but the imposition of a commuter tax such as they have in NYC. Those residents of the UA who work in Cary pay some percentage income tax to the munincipality they work in if they also do not reside in that munincipality.
That would ensure that the folks in the UA are in fact paying their "fair share" just as they would if they lived in any state but Massachusetts but worked in that commonwealth.
How about it?
Johnb
Not knowing much about the NYC thing makes me unqualified to debate the issue.
If it is a good idea, why don't you start a movement to replace the annexation laws with it?

When did "Dutchman Downs" have a vote in whether or not we wanted Regency or an Aquatic's Center or Soccer Park. When did we vote for water and sewer bonds? And do you really think that our 25 plus year old homes will become more valuable because Cary is near? If so, make me an offer I can't refuse! I'd love to feel that I have such increased "value" especially with a well and septic that is, by annexation advocates statements, ready to fail any time now!
So now, not only do you NOT want to pay, but you want to VOTE on the decisions in a town that you do NOT want to pay the taxes on? What are you smoking? Yes those 25 more homes are valuable, because they are close to Cary, and not going to be part of Raleigh or Garner.

For a very simple reason, in fact, the same reason the annexation laws aren't going anywhere:
1-I am personally ambivalent about it generally.
2-The legislature is so divided as to preclude any measure being taken to "solve" the matter.
The folks who are against annexation now will certainly oppose any measure to tax them for proportionally to support munincipal services in the munincipality in which they work.
The reason people move to the UA is to escape munincipal taxes in the first place. It seems to me that what the folks in the UA want is freedom from annexation and the "freedom" to avoid supporting the very infrastructure they require for their own employment. *IF* counties were made to pay for and build their own roads and pay the real cost of county schools, this would be a non issue, since that tax burden, currently subsidized by the residents of the munincipalities, would become comparatively quite high.
It strikes me that what is going on is many of the folks in the anti-annexation movement are right in not wanting to pay for a lot of the trash that Cary spends money on. But they also don't want to be bothered paying the full cost of basic government "services" either.
Keep it up and you folks are gonna hurt yourselves in the long run. The day Cary pulls out of the WCPSS and set up it's own school district County property taxes will skyrocket to make up for the loss of revenue from the higher property values in the city of Cary.
Freeloading works only as long as you don't poke the guy you're freeloading off of in the eye too often or too hard.

And what about the 123 who haven't responded. Why should they? If you were against the proposed change in the law you would have to be stupid to oppose these fanatics in public. I'll bet most of them will vote against you....stan

Everyone in a given area should be forced to buy into whatever the largest group nearby is proposing. (who gets to decide, Stan? You?),
I didn't vote to approve those tax funded "quality of life" amenities that Cary politicians now want us to help pay for and I don't want any part of it now or in the future. Dig your own hole and live in it. I already help pay for more of it that than I care to. If you don't want me to shop at Cary businesses, and thus have to travel on Cary roads, just say so.

I propose a new Internet Standard.....
John's Law: He who invokes "the children" as a justification for any political activity aside from running the school system, instantly looses all credibility and as punishment has to buy all men with hair loss on CaryPolitics beer the following Friday night at Hooters in Morrisville.
What about those of us without hair loss? After all, it's FOR THE CHIL...uh, never mind. :lol:

I am a firm believer in the Army's unofficial motto:
Peace through superior firepower.
HomeyB would have no objection to being in a target rich environment.

I promise that my deputies would be the best looking deputies in the country, and that my officers would be available for wives to pass along honey to do lists as we followed our law abiding citizens home.
