RIVER ROAD RESIDENTS' VIEWS OF ANNEXATION <br />EDITORIAL OBSERVATIONS: <br />Opposition peaks among "most frequent voters." Conversely, <br />those most likely to "acquiesce" to annexation are non-voter types, <br />which suggests that incentives to induce them to vote could <br />redound to the benefit of annexation. <br />• Although negativism pervades all voter segments, there is support <br />potential among newer residents and younger voters, many of <br />whom are ..renters. <br />• On the other hand, opposition is concentrated among senior citizens <br />and long-term residents who are resistant to chanee.
