• city should stop annexations that increase fire risks, worsen traffic, impact the climate, cause habitat losses.
• city should partner with state and County to take more action on the Chatham Barrel Yard remediation!

This is a great opportunity!  Please exercise your rights!  As the last flood showed so clearly, (and the tens of thousands of dollars we have to spend fixing our bridge) demonstrates very clearly, even if you are in the sphere of influence and not the city direct, what they do impacts us greatly so please comment.
