Update from Homeowners Against Annexation: Excerpts: Vote NO ANNEXATION Option 2 By now you have likely received your letter from the City of San Antonio.  The City assured me they have gone out of their way to make it clear.   Now they wonder why nobody trusts them…it is anything but clear. There is ongoing communication with Homeowners Against Annexation (HAA), the COSA and JBSA and other key players on changing the Ballot language.  We have a meeting next week with JBSA to understand their needs as the JLUS is not specific to what land use controls would be implemented.  We will report those findings late next week. In the meantime, plan to vote Option 2 NO ANNEXATION.  This is the only option that avoids annexation into the City with a 23% tax increase. A quick refresher…In order to get the Texas Annexation Right to Vote Act to pass, Sec 43.0117 had to be included. This is commonly called the 5 mile military buffer.  Had this language not been included, the big City opposition to Annexation reform would have filibustered (as they did in the regular session) and killed the bill and thus we would be 1 year into a 3 year process that absolutely would have resulted in Annexation. We are looking at the language and what the City can do along with what JBSA wants/needs. I will report our findings later this month. Regardless, we will need money for outreach. Donate at http://www.homeownersagainstannexation.com/p/donate.html?m=1 Make sure you are registered to vote and vote for Option 2 on November 6th.  Tell your neighbors and help them get to the polls! We worked hard to pass the Texas Annexation Right to Vote Act.  Now we have to get out and vote NO ANNEXATION!  What should you do today?

Ralph, Sorry, I don’t have a phone number or know of any other way at this time to reach HAA.  I just get their e-mails from signing up for updates last year. But I can search their site to see if so can find anything.  If I do find something, I’ll let you know.
