Proponents said incorporation would protect Bellflower’s identity and keep taxes low while opponents warned county services could not be improved without tax increases. Boundaries would have run from the Long Beach string south to the west line near Lakewood Boulevard, north to the Bellflower City School District, and east to the San Gabriel River.
