Comments on: Greenwood seeks judgement on Bargersville annexations http://www.centergroveinc.org/2009/11/30/greenwood-seeks-judgement-on-bargersville-annexations/ Following the future of White River Township Sat, 11 Sep 2010 01:55:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Sadim Murphy http://www.centergroveinc.org/2009/11/30/greenwood-seeks-judgement-on-bargersville-annexations/comment-page-1/#comment-991 Sadim Murphy Wed, 02 Dec 2009 03:20:12 +0000 http://www.centergroveinc.org/?p=2982#comment-991 So why would this turn out any differently than the first lawsuit? Does Greenwood even have standing for such an action? If not a suit, then how is a court to rule? And until the jurisdictional questions are answered, how can the merger process proceed? How can we know what our potential future would lead? If the Bargersville annexations are held valid, then the vast majority of the commercial development corridors are in Bargersville. What happens to the tax rate of the "new city" in 10/15/20 years. Yes, Mr. Sherman, we should think long-term rather than short term. WRT is best served to align with whichever municipality wins this legal battle -- because its a battle for the commercial future of the township.
