 98-7148 -- Pittsburg County Rural Water District no. 7 v. City of McAlester -- 05/02/2000
The District's position is flawed because it fails to recognize the significance of the repurchase of the notes.
The district court did not reach several issues, most notably whether the county commissioners' deannexation orders are preempted by § 1926(b), because the court determined the District did not qualify for § 1926(b) protection.
While the City agrees with the district court that actions taken prior to June 15, 1994 cannot be included under the protections of § 1926(b), the City finds fault with the district court's determination of the scope of actionable conduct after this date.

The Rural District Development committee is a powerful arm of council, consisting of district heads of government ministries, chairpersons of the Rural District Council's other committees, and district heads of national security organs.
Thus, although the Rural District Development Committee is potentially a forum for melding community and sectoral plans, in practice it attenuates the spirit of popular participation and sidelines community plans and visions.
It is important to note at this point that Rural District Councils (as legal persons with minor legislative competence over by-law formulation in areas under their jurisdiction) do not effectively represent the visions and aspirations of grassroots communities, nor are they effectively accountable to them.

The board of Rural Water District No. 4 -- the utility that provides water to about 900 customers in the area roughly between Lawrence and Baldwin -- says an idea to reduce the planned density of future development in the area would "severely harm" the utility's finances.

Nitcher said the district made that move in large part because the city of Lawrence, which treats and pumps most of the district's water, was restricting the amount of additional water it would sell the district.
