As a former Cordovan, annexed under protest by Memphis, I know just how the South Cordovans feel. I used to live in Hunters Hollow. I live in North Mississippi now. The mayor can "make it right" by holding off on annexation until the candidates for annexation have a chance to vote on whether or not to accept Memphis' "invitation".

Under Herenton, the north Cordova annexation brought nothing to the property owners but taxes. We get NO garbage pickup, no road work, no response to our complaints and all the burden of paying for the urbanites to lay claim to our tax dollars. If the mayor promises you anything, film it, get it in writing, along with the budgeted funds in advance. The city only annexes for gain as they are greed mongerers.
