If cities were to annex the land, they could change the zoning after two years, thus altering the greenbelt. Some of the landowners in the area being considered are opposed to the idea of a green belt. It would bring more restrictions to what they could do on their property. The purpose of the new rules is to reveal who is influencing commissioners, and how much they are being lobbied. Allowing land to be annexed to a city typically increases its value.
Land designated for housing, for instance, is worth much more than farmland.
Commissioner Jim Spering, the mayor of Suisun City, said the disclosure requirements could be extreme. He feared they could limit information on important boundary changes and annexations. He faces spending the rest of his life in jail. In a jailhouse interview later in the day, Anderson told a local newspaper reporter he had snatched at least 10 girls and got away with it for 30 years. Offering no details or substantiation of his claim, he also said he had killed Xiana Fairchild, a Vallejo girl who was abducted in December 1999.
