Opponents of Annexation Say Fight May Not Be Over

Jeffrey Harris with "Citizens Against Annexation" said, "The people have spoken. They got the popular vote, and I want to congratulate the mayor. They spent enough money and political campaigning to win this."

Donna Reed, also with "Citizens Against Annexation" said, "The people in west Mobile, they were insulted by this vote, that the lines were drawn like they were, to let "A" decide, have the deciding factor on the tax base for the majority of the people out here."

But what happens now for the people who didn't want annexation. Could there be a lawsuit in the future?

Opponents had filed a lawsuit, saying the four areas were illegally drawn.

But a judge said they didn't have grounds for a suit before the election.

Now that the election is over, we asked opponents if they might file another lawsuit.

Reed said, "I can just say that there's a strong possibility. At this time, that's all I can say.

Harris said, "Wait and see. You never know what the future holds."
