Hi all,
Below is a link to the highly contested Proposition 2 Bill. There's a great
deal of controversy over it, critics state it will damage a City's ability
to grow & prosper.
I personally hate to see any more laws on the book, however Idaho's
Growth, Area of Impact and Forced Annexation Laws have
devastated County residents of their Property & Voting Rights and
placed those rights into the hands of Developers.
Growth is a good thing, but only if it pays it's own way through
appropriate Impact Fees. Under current Idaho Annexation law, taxpayers are
forced to subsidize the costly infrastructures for Developer's
developments.
Opponents of Proposition 2 are the very same folks who have lobbied against
all citizen sponsored Annexation Reform Bills presented since
2000. These Bills would have simply replaced Idaho's Forced Growth
Laws, with Voting & Property Rights for those effected.
The
www.voteforabetteridaho.org
website documents the City, County and Corporate interests who have
adamantly opposed these basic American Rights.
Please take the time to carefully read this Bill, before entering the
Voting booth.
