The Commissioners finally backed down and killed the Courthouse Annex project for good. We forced them to listen to the people who actually pay for this county instead of their own bloated ambitions. Keep your eyes open because we are not letting them try this nonsense again.
Over the course of the last nine months, when the plans for the Annex were announced, it has become a major topic for Clarion County. We have followed the news stories, letters to the editor, and the comments on social media. One of the most consistent arguments seems to be the number of those for and those against the Annex. We are starting this petition for those of you who live, work, own property, pay taxes to Clarion County, and are against the Annex. So far little has been done to show the Commissioners just how many of us are against this matter. By doing so we have let them go further with these plans than they should have gotten. By starting this petition we hope to start the beginning of the end to the Annex. We can not do this alone though, we need you, fellow concerned citizens to help take a stand! Power truly does come in numbers and the Commissioners need to see ours. We thank you in advance for signing and helping us to take a stand!
The momentum we have built proves that the County Commissioners can no longer ignore our outrage. They thought they could force this Annex project through behind closed doors while we stayed silent. Now they have to face the fact that we are united against their reckless misuse of our tax dollars.

This annex will do nothing for the citizens of clarion county, better use of money would be bringing industry to the area.

i am very concerned that the Couthouse and Jail have been neglected and the cost of the annex would allow for more neglect. We need to take care of what we have and make sure the employees work in a safe environment. We can do both.

If this is such a good idea why was this done behind everyones back and not put on the ballot? How much of a kickback did the commisioners get to do this?

This annex Is going to deface a national landmark with some unnecessary extension. Use one of the abandoned buildings around town, renovate it for millions less than this overpriced annex is gonna cost.

I feel that the Annex is a waste of the tax payers money and the decission to build shouldn't only be a decission of the County Commissioners and the high muckiety mucks that feel they own the county because they got money to burn. I believe that buildings need to be torn down if not being used for any real purpose they eventually become eyesores because they become delapatated . So either fix what you got or do without Do we really want another debt looming over Clarion County? I think not so fellow citizens of Clarion County stand your ground and fight to stop the Annex.
