The JIPSD Commissioners have invited Rep. McCoy to their meeting on Monday, April 24 at 6 pm to discuss HB 4076, . This bill would give voters in the unincorporated area of James Island an opportunity to vote to rejoin the Town.
Support by the JIPSD Commissioners is vital because Senator Sandy Senn made the District Manager's support a condition before she will co-sponsor and work for the bill. The District Manager works for the JIPSD Commissioners.
If the bill does pass, then it will take a majority of JIPSD Commissioners to vote in order to allow for an annexation election in the unincorporated portion of the district. If there is not a majority of JIPSD Commissioners who support giving those in the unincorporated area of James Island an opportunity to return to the Town, then the bill will do James Islanders no good.
I think it is great that the JIPSD Commissioners are willing to discuss this bill. Those interested in having a chance to reunite the Town should attend.
