After my little tirade against what Orange has become, I was emailed this little nugget. I love small-town petty politics on a level that is not healthy. --------------------------- and even PINEHURST wants nothing to do with Orange : Three Pinehurst residents, including two former council members, protested any move by the city of Orange to annex Pinehurst. They made the complaints to the Pinehurst City Council Tuesday night based on rumors. Mike Anderson, who said he had lived in Pinehurst for nearly 60 years, named a Pinehurst businessman and resident and accused him of promoting the consolidation of the two cities. Anderson suggested the man ought to move to Orange. “We the citizens of Pinehurst wish you well in your move,” he said. C.J. Huckaby, who previously served on the council and was an Orange County commissioner in the 1990s, said a lot of people are upset about the tale of consolidation. Orange is a good city but that’s a different class of city. Were working class, Huckaby said. People in Pinehurst don’t want zoning, he added. John Clark also spoke against any annexation by Orange. The three spoke during the citizen comment time of the meeting. City Council members are not allowed to respond under the Texas Open Meetings Law because the subject had not been posted on the agenda. City Administrator Joe Parkhurst said Wednesday there is no truth to the rumors. An incorporated city cannot legally be annexed by another city.
