Townships

In unincorporated areas of the county, the County is the city. And townships keep other neighboring cities from annexing parts of the area in piecemeal - from cherry picking our tax base. However, the law that allows townships ends in 2010. I will be leading the County's efforts with the legislature to extend that law. In case we do not succeed, each community may want to prepare a backup plan - to annex or incorporate. In the meantime, our job at the County is to give each community every reason to want to stay within the County.
