Lawyer Says Intention of Legislature Violated
More than 200 people gathered at a Princeton school meeting to hear Wade Myers a Princeton area attorney and state senator from Lyon County urge court action to halt expansion of School District 30 Ottawa. Myers argued the expansion violates legislative intent from last session and urged Princeton boards to file suit for interpretation and to enjoin Ottawa from further annexations until law is clarified. He cautioned that a Franklin County exclusive annexation bill would cause chaos and noted it was killed in committee.

Angell clarifies error on Myers referenced bill
Wayne Angell said he introduced the special legislation Myers referenced, which he calls erroneous. He explained House Bill 388 aimed to aid non high territory common school districts around Ottawa and would have affected only districts without a high school. The measure served as a precaution if unification failed, but Angell and Senator Bowers agreed it was no longer needed once unification looked likely.
