MONTGOMERY, AL (AP) -
The future of the few hundred people who live in historic Stockton depends on Alabama's 2.7 million voters.
Amendment 3 on the Nov. 6
ballot would create a landmark district for the unincorporated Baldwin
County community. That would prevent the Legislature from passing a bill
that annexes Stockton into another town. Annexation could then be
achieved only by a vote of Stockton residents.
Proponents say no nearby
town is trying to annex Stockton. Instead, they were motivated by seeing
the historic Greek community of Malbus get incorporated into Daphne and
Spanish Fort. Stockton resident Georgia Ann Conner says it's an effort
to preserve the community's heritage.
