Fishers Goes On Offense - gUO Cries Fowl

Nothing could wipe the smile off of my face after I read the brochure that appeared in my mailbox last week. It will just be hilarious when gUO presents their measly 1 or 2 thousand signatures to Superior Court while Fishers presents 5 or 10 times that number of signatures in favor. Ironically, the atgeistatfishersblog.joke.crap guy wants Fishers residents to believe that this isn't their concern. This coming from a guy who doesn't even live in the proposed annexation area. He says that we, the Town residents, "don't have a dog in this fight" and that it should stay between geist and the Fishers Town Council. Quite a leap of logic considering that we were the ones who elected the Council to do what's best for Fishers. He can't refute even one sentence of what the brochure says. Just blows smoke. Ha!

Fact is, the annexation of geist will help average Fishers residents to continue to enjoy the lowest municipal tax rate of any other major town or city in the county. Any Fishers resident who doesn't believe that is under the influence of something or someone. Fishers is even using the "soft glove" approach here. They should publicize the number of geist residents whose lives have been saved by quick responding patrol cars equipped with portable defibrillators. They should get an address list from S.P.O.R.T.S. and begin assessing park use fees for "non-residents". How about assessing the township fire departments with the capital costs of buildings and equipment?

Once Fishers gets done reminding some of the gUO folks about the sewer waivers contained in their plats and covenants and after some entire neighborhoods start agreeing to non-remonstrance clauses in their tax abatement agreements with the Town, gUO will start to get a "swiss cheese effect" look of its own.

The average residents in the proposed annexation areas need to face reality and stop letting the millionaires and the little HOA Napoleons tell them what's best for them.

If anyone reading this didn't receive the brochure or wants an electronic version of it simply email your request to say_yes2fishers@hotmail.com Happy to oblige.
