I have never understood why people get so worked up and emotional when the word annexation is brought up. They have more reaction than a bull does to a red cape or a Republican being asked to vote for Hillary. Some people get angry and combative.

I am not saying that the people who showed up to oppose an effort by the city of Corbin to annex some roads in west Corbin area acted that way, but they did show up in big numbers on July 7 … 36 of them, to oppose any move by the city to take in that land.
