Cryin’ Out Loud
Things are heating up out in the Precinct Two Commissioner’s mud wrestling contest. According to the Hill Country News, the Leander City Council approved the petition for voluntary annexation of candidate Terry Davis’ residence in the Ridgmar Landing subdivision. This isn’t the last of it folks - there will be two more public hearings on the matter before the final vote. Plenty of time to check out the action.
The request has irritated Davis’ neighbors no end as (GASP), they think they might be involuntarily annexed as a result. The City Manager, Biff Johnson, told the nervous neighbors that, while the city has no intention of annexing the subdivision for years to come, future annexation is inevitable. Well, D’uh.
The News also rehashed the 2003 brouhaha between the Davises and Leander residents David Pope and Agnes Stanley. Back then, Pope and Stanley filed a criminal complaint alleging the Davises weren’t residents of Leander and couldn’t use the law office address to register to vote. The Davises were later No Billed by the Grand Jury (note to all Leanderthals - Terry Davis is a lawyer). Iris Davis is currently on the Leander City Council. The beef about the voting No Bill comes back around pretty near every election cycle. Wah, wah, wah. Get over it. Go find something else in your neighborhood to whine about, like, say, toll roads.
