West Hills residents get to vote Aug. 21 whether they want to officially be part of the city, not an island within it. I haven’t heard anything yet that would suggest the vote would be anything but a landslide against annexation.

Pamalonia McCrary, who has led the anti-annexation effort in West Hills, e-mailed and said Navy Yard City residents have been in contact with her. Seems residents there are preparing to petition a vote as well.
