4 Reasons TPPF Supports Annexation Reform

Pointing to a new forced annexation of 87 square miles and 52,000 Texans in San Antonio, the Texas Public Policy Foundation proposes passage of annexation reform.

TPPF backed  SB 1639 and HB 2221 from the 2015 Texas Legislature. These were good reforms for these 4 reasons:

• “growing government spending is not a reasonable justification for trampling on someone’s private property rights”
• Reform needs to include cities providing “a written contract for services shown in at least two public hearings”
• Reforms must include a required tapproval by a majority of residents
• Local governments should not “impose their taxes, debts and big-government structures on an unwilling populace”
