WHAT IS STOPNCANNEXATION?
StopNCAnnexation
is a 501(C)4 Nonprofit organized to help victims of forced annexation learn
about and from others across North Carolina who are also fighting forced
annexation. The goal is to inform every group about each other, about what
the laws say about forced annexation, how to fight it, and how to work
together to lobby our State lawmakers to change this law.
It was also created to be an internet resource of information about what
others have done in their fight against annexation; their court challenges,
fundraising, and experiences with the annexing municipalities.
Starting in 2004,
StopNCAnnexation has held a yearly 'Rally in Raleigh' event to bring
information and the voice of the citizens to the legislators on the same day
that the cities are lobbying to preserve forced annexation laws at the NC
League of Municipalities 'Town Hall Day' event. These have grown in impact
and success with each year.
WHO IS STOPNCANNEXATION?
StopNCAnnexation is EVERYONE across NC fighting forced annexation.
StopNCAnnexation is a volunteer effort
started by Ron Thoreson and some of his Dutchman Downs neighbors in Wake
County. The idea came about after his neighborhood was told it would be
annexed forcibly into Cary, NC to resolve a service boundary dispute with
Holly Springs, NC. The neighborhood is currently under a Resolution of
Consideration to annex and is scheduled to be annexed in 2012 along with
several other areas like Medfield Estates.
The StopNCAnnexation effort was joined in 2003 by Cathy Heath, a resident of
Medfield Estates. She has designed and maintains the website, compiles
research information for use in fighting forced annexation, tracks news
reports about annexations, monitors the General Assembly and the League of
Municipalities. She also communicates with legislators regarding Bills to
reform forced annexation and with Policy Groups regarding the arguments
against forced annexation.
