Border war


A crowd of over 300 gathered Thursday evening at the convention center off of exit 48.

The quickly announced special zoning for Meade county residents near the border with the city of Summerset took place Thursday evening. It began with confusion and ended with a question. What happens next?

Meade county officials are proposing a new special zoning committee that would hold the title of number 5 in layers of government bureaucracy. Government chain of command currently is the state of SD, the city of Summerset, the county of Meade, and current covenants of homeowners associations that would be grandfathered in.

Why create something that will have no taxing authority or legal recourse to enforce codes that are on the books? Why get the people excited over a committee that has been hyped with a false sense of bravado?

Is this being created to provide a blueprint for Summerset to annex the area and for the Meade county commission to wash their hands of us?
