Do annexations really help Issaquah?

I think the Boundary Review Board needs to hear from citizens of Issaquah, Yes, our city is a "city of annexes," but somebody should ask how well that's working out for everybody.

The goal of making issaquah big is only to get regional dollars and eventually light-rail over I-90. It needs a huge population that can be taxed in order to make that work. Perhaps the city could set up a website to explain that.
