Annexation clears second hurdle
The city's annexation plans were given the go-ahead Monday by the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission, even as residents and some commissioners voiced displeasure in the move.
"We asked the city to come back with a better plan," said planning Commissioner Bobby Scott. "They have shown us the dignity to come back with the same piece of (expletive) they did before."
The commission voted 7-5 Monday to approve the second phase of the city's annexation plan. The commission voted 9-5 last month to approve the city's first phase of annexation plans.
The Chattanooga City Council will take up annexation for the first time tonight during a public hearing. The hearing will be the first of 10 over the next two months, with each looking at areas within the first and second phases of annexation.
I am not sure who this Commissioner Bobby Scott is, but he is the very first City official who has spoken the truth about this annexation debacle.
