voted down

Just heard on the news - City Council voted down the mayor's idea of annexing a big chunk of Allen County north of the city (7 to 2). Even though I don't live in that area any more, I am relieved to hear this decision. I think it would have been a nasty blow to the nice people who bought my house last September if they were suddenly faced with higher taxes and other changes.  And this way they won't wonder if I knew something before I sold, which I didn't.  Mayor Henry sounds disappointed but I think City Council did the right thing here.
