Controversy in Lake View

Apparently I've moved into the heart of an annexation dispute:

Concerned Citizens of Roupes Valley

I haven't yet figured out whether my house sits in a disputed area, but here's the gist of the situation, based on my limited understanding. The town of Lake View (in Tuscaloosa County) annexed some properties on the south side of I-20/59, and the town of Woodstock (just across the Bibb County line) filed suit to block the annexation. Conversely, Woodstock annexed property in Tuscaloosa County--right up to the Lake View border--and so Lake View filed suit against Woodstock to block that annexation.

It looks like the CCRV group is against Lake View's annexation tactics. I haven't yet gathered enough information to figure out where I should stand on the matter.
