There’s now a lawsuit over the annexation fight between Eau Claire and the Town of Washington.
The lawsuit challenges how Eau Claire annexed the nearly 300 acres back in June. Land can be annexed as long as it borders the city, the land in question did not, but does border a piece of Lowes Creek Park. The city annexed that land too, but the lawsuit says that annexation was flawed, so the whole thing should be canceled.
The Town of Washington’s Janelle Henning says they’ve had questions about the annexation for a while, but those questions were ignored.
