This event is to coincide with the Kinston City Council meeting on the forced annexation of 1193 Lenoir County residents. These people are being forced into the city’s limits when the residents already in Kinston are fleeing the high costs of tax rates, fees, and utilities.
There will be an estimated cost increase of $1010.00 a year with a one-time connection fee of $2500.00 for sewage. North Carolina is only one of two states in the union that even allow forced annexation. This is exactly the type of government overreach being fought by us in this Tea Party Movement.
All issues concerning the government’s abuses of power and unconstitutional actions will be discussed. Come out and show your support for the Tea Party Movement and these American citizens being forced into a city government to broaden the city's tax base.
