<br />To the City of Paris: <br /> <br />Since being annexed by the City of Paris~ approximately 3 years ago~ we have received <br />absolutely nothing for our increase in property taxes. We have no sewage~ no additional <br />police protection~ we are on Lamar County Water and our fire protection has actually <br />decreased! ! <br /> <br />We have the Faught Volunteer Fire Dept. approximately 150ft. from our property ~as well <br />as the Reno Fire Dept. approximately 50 ft. from our property~ neither of which can be <br />first contacted due to the fact that the City of Paris Fire Dept. has to be first notified in <br />case of an emergency. <br /> <br />Our sewage has cost us well over $10~OOO in plumbing expenses. As recently as this <br />month~ we have had to replace our clear water system spending $1~500 ourselves: <br />whereas~ the City of Paris has been no help with this utility expense. <br /> <br />As is clearly evident~ not only have we received zero benefit from city annexation~ we are <br />in greater peril from the governmental acquisition than we were before. We request for <br />our safety as well as wasted tax dollars to be de-annexed from the City of Paris. <br /> <br />Sincerely~ <br />Bob & Sandra Ables <br /> <br />r" <br />
