Call to Arms–Ind Senate Committee Hearing Wednesday, 2/7

On Wednesday, February 7th, at 1:00 pm the Indiana State Senate Local Government and Elections Committee is holding a public hearing on the bills proposed by Senator Beverly Gard regarding changes to the current state annexation law: reducing the remonstrance percentage from 65% to 51% of property owners and requiring municipalities to reimburse property owners for court and legal fees incurred to successfully remonstrate against a forced annexation.

We need everyone who can to attend this hearing to show support for Senator Gard’s proposed bills. If passed, these bills would at least help level the playing field in our fight against forced annexation. As a first step, the proposed bills must be passed by this Committee in order to go to the full senate for vote.

Please meet at the South side of the State Office Building (rotunda) on the second floor at 12:30 pm. From there we will go to the committee hearing room.

We need everyone’s support to help move these bills forward.
