Besieged by annexation efforts from nearby Charleston and Folly Beach, some residents of James Island, S.C., are trying to incorporate the community.
Besieged by annexation efforts from nearby Charleston and Folly Beach, some residents of James Island, S.C., are trying to incorporate the community. But a new group has risen saying incorporation of the island, which failed twice before, would be a waste of money and efforts to do so only encourage attempts at annexation, according to The Post and Courier. The No New Town Task Force is encouraging people to vote against incorporation on June 20, but the man spearheading the incorporation movement says previous versions of the town did not raise taxes and is the community’s best way to prevent annexation. http://www.charleston.net/stories/?newsID=91735§ion=localnews
