Many of you were unable to take time off yesterday to sit in on the Hamilton County Commissioners meeting where the two petitions from Geist were accepted by a unanimous vote. This video covers the testimony by Rachel Quade and Allan Yackey (attorney representing Geist homeowners wishing to incorporate) as well as the rebuttal by Fishers Town Council member Art Levine.

I note that my opponent in the upcoming election, Art Levine, appeared at the County Commissioners meeting to ask the Commissioners not even to consider the Geist incorporation petitions. Our positions on these issues could not be more different. Mr. Levine does not want Geist residents to decide their own destiny, whether that is annexation to Fishers, or incorporation of their own towns.
My position has always been that forced annexation, against the will of the majority of the affected landowners, is wrong, and that the will of the majority should decide this issue.
The Fishers Town Council is wasting taxpayer dollars to avoid what should be a simple question – what is the will of the majority? I call on the Town Council to withdraw their ill-timed and ill-considered forced annexation ordinances.
