To make up for wasteful spending, the city of Eden wants to annex and extend Eden’s territorial jurisdiction to other parts of the county surrounding the city.
Eden needs money bad. The Eden City Council will use the extended ETJ as a base for the next part of annexation. This new ETJ is the first step of the annexation process. If the city of Eden needs more money they should raise the Eden city property taxes to an amount that they need. They have already raised fees, permits and the water/sewer rates, but that is not enough. They want more so they can spend more.
The people who are in the proposed ETJ areas do not want to be a part of Eden’s control. If we wanted to live in the city we would have bought our homes in the city. We want to be left alone in the county.
I own property in the city limits of Eden, but I live in the county and that is where I want to stay. Everyone affected by this extended ETJ should be at the commissioners meeting Monday, June 2 in Wentworth at 7 p.m.
