Last night during public input (FF: 39:20), Matt Metzger attended the city council meeting and spoke about his disdain over being thrown under the bus to the media by Planning Department employee, Albert Schmidt. He said, it made him look like a freeloader for not paying city property taxes. But he explained that on 3 sides of his property, none of the land has been platted. He also said he pays for city water, and that Lincoln County plows his roads.
His testimony must have struck a nerve with someone because the planning department announced today that they will request a withdrawal of the Metzger annexation during the Jan. 3, 2017 regular meeting.
