Vote Yes on Annexation

Sisters voters should approve the annexation of 100 acres for school and recreational facilities.

This is not a vote on whether a high school should be built. Voters already decided that.

Stripped of all the political wrangling, the decision comes down to simple dollars and sense. City residents will probably benefit financially from annexation. School systems development charges will largely fund a back-up water line for the city.

Turning down annexation would cost city residents and every other taxpayer in the school district money.

Construction delays would eat up interest money that has been committed to paying down the high school bond. Money spent on building water and septic systems is money wasted.

This vote will determine how much school taxpayers get for their money.

A "yes" vote will protect our investment.
