Legislators Weigh Annexation Bill Change in Voting Rights
A proposed bill would remove the annexation referendum from property owners in affected areas, allowing a nonemergency city annexation with 35 percent petition and a local vote. The Destin incursion plans extend east to Airport Road, drawing opposition from landowners Kelly Trust and Henderson. Local officials urge predictability while critics argue annexations erode citizen input.
