Chairman of the board Ed Robb believes the zeal for immediate incorporation would backfire on residents, creating higher taxes and more red tape for doing business in The Woodlands. Both he and Bass believe there are other, more effective ways to combat the issues the township has with county governance.
"We don't need a knee-jerk reaction," Robb said. "We need to be exploring our enabling legislation and working with our state representatives to lay a pathway to make incorporation less painful when the time comes."
