U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is expected to give the Village of Salado its final opinion on the biological assessment for the sewer system next week.

Much has been made of how much or how little the disannexed property owners will pay in property taxes if an election for the disannexation of a large portion of the Village of Salado is successful on May 6. But what about those who are left behind?

If the disannexation election is successful on May 6, it is likely to be litigated. One issue will be whether the disannexed properties will be liable for their pro rate share of the $8.2 million in bonds sold for the Salado sewer system.

Questions about the metes and bounds of the proposed disannexation area arose at the April 8 town forum on Disannexation. The questions may linger long after the May 6 election, to be finally determined by the courts.
