How foolish it was to oppose annexation of Union in Longmont. Those of us that were in favor made the case that if Longmont didn't annex, someone would. And that's EXACTLY what's going to happen. Now, the development will go as planned...and Longmont won't get a cent of the sales tax revenue. Firestone's trustees can see what amazing potential this development has. Shame on us, and how naive of the anti-union group to think that if they could stop Longmont from annexing, that the developers would just give up on the idea. Way to go...if Longmont had annexed, not only would we have gotten the tax revenue, but we'd also have had a say in the design of the development AND we would have been able to keep space between our town and our neigbors. Now, we'll have another city camping on our doorstep. Nice job, you all should be VERY proud.
