Current residents should oppose annexation

Dear Editor,
If annexation is granted by the courts, it will inevitably be the newly annexed tax payers who are blamed for the tax increases levied by the city to ALL city residents. The majority of the 900-plus residents in the proposed annexation area simply do not want to be annexed into the city.

I wish to express my opinion concerning the Mississippi Department of Transportation replacing the two bridges on 198 that just reopened.
Plans are to replace them during the next couple of years.
It is my opinion it is more urgent to replace the lower bridge on U.S. 98 that crosses the Pearl River.
