KYLE — Kyle Mayor Travis Mitchell, along with all six Kyle City Council members, convened to a full room of over 80 Kyle residents Tuesday night to hold a public hearing regarding the unilateral annexation of an additional 1,400 acres into Kyle city limits.
Throughout the hearing — which included almost a dozen presenting Kyle residents — the comments on the annexation were unanimously negative criticisms, primarily because the current terms of the proposed annexation include an increase of city tax in affected areas, but lack any provisions to offer those areas city services.
“We’re going to get nothing except higher taxes,” said Ed Graning, a resident of Kyle for over 30 years, “...we’re going to get nothing. They’re not going to put sewer in there, nothing.”
