East Lake Anti-Annexation Bill going to the plate for 3rd time in 2012.

Introduced in the Florida Legislature for the past two years the bill will be re-submitted to Legislature for the 2012 session. The bill is sponsored by Representative Nehr and Senator Fasano who will once again push to get this important legislation passed this year. We have a much stronger base of support and look forward to "hitting it out of the park" for a home run this year.

The bill strives to prevent surrounding cities from piece meal annexation by providing an "all or none" approach to Annexation. If a surrounding city wants a portion of East Lake (As Oldsmar did with East Lake Woodlands in 2009) they will have to bring compelling enough reasons for the entire East Lake area to be annexed. The bill also provides for a referendum be voted on by all residents of the East Lake area for approval.
