The hot-button question of west Mobile annexation got off to a bumpy start in 2023 as the Mobile City Council considered the first related measure of the new year.
The Mobile City Council meets on Tuesday, May 11, 2022, at Government Plaza in Mobile, Ala. .
As explained by James Barber, chief of staff to Mayor Sandy Stimpson, it would provide a third-party validation of facts and figures used in the annexation discussion, such as the expected tax revenue from given areas. Jones said he felt that having demographic data validated by a third party “does give us the transparency you’re asking for.” “When it is on the table, we know that the information in front of us is right,” he said.
Carroll said he’s concerned that if the process lacks transparency, council sessions will be flooded by citizens who feel they need to show up week after week to battle for their interests.
