Follow-up: State appeals lawsuit against city of Double Horn

[TexasTowelie]

The state of Texas has opted to continue its legal action against the city of Double Horn, alleging the municipality formed illegally, following a petition denial by a district court judge in Burnet County.

The city faced civil action from the state Office of the Attorney General (OAG), which alleged Double Horn officials did not follow the law when residents organized by petition and conducted an election in December to become a municipality.

State lawyers named the aldermen, mayor and marshal in the case and alleged the city formed to try to halt Spicewood Crushed Stone, a New York-based mining company with a planned operation on 280 acres adjacent to Double Horn, which is located in Burnet County.

On April 3, 424th Judicial District Judge Evan Stubbs denied the state's petition.

2. This is a pissing match between some borderline tea partiers and the state ...

Typical NIMBY attitudes by people who want good roads but want unicorns to poop gravel. If their property had been bought for this crusher, they'd been as happy as clams.

They were relieved when Marble Falls didn't incorporate them into MF several years back and they didn't try to incorporate themselves until they found out about the asphalt plant and crusher.


They want to use their land any way they want but don't want their neighbors to do the same.

There's not much sympathy around here for them.
