LA. Supreme Court Rules in Favor of St. George Incorporators

Opinion
quote:
Cole has the statutory right to challenge the incorporation of St. George. However, his real and actual interest is limited to the adverse impact incorporation will have on Baton Rouge, a municipality in the vicinity, and whether St. George can timely provide services. Despite the challenge, we conclude St. George can provide public services within a reasonable period of time. Applying objective factors to determine reasonableness, we hold incorporation is reasonable. We reverse the lower courts’ denial of incorporation and render judgment in favor of Proponents

Wow, this has been a 10 year battle. Congrats to St. George and its residents.

But they need St George residents to support them in BR, it wouldn’t be fair!

Well, St George it is. I look forward to low taxes, good schools, armed perimeters, and parades with bagpipes and delightful European cheeses and meats.

I didn't read this, and I know my answer may be in the link, but does this make it a done deal?

I knew this was coming soon. I put in a work order with the city the week before the vote in October 2019. They just came this week and completed the work.
Figured the decision wouldn’t been that far behind.

I was surprised at the identity of the dissenting judges.

Congrats St. George!

I guess I live in St George now. It’s been way too long that they were alllowed to drag this out.

We all should thank Chris Rials and Norman Browning for taking on city hall and carrying a heavy load for all of us out here in SG. Thanks guys and thank you to all the others who helped win this grass roots struggle.

About time. frick Broome with a broom handle sideways. Crook.

Mayor Broome screwed herself here. The governor appoints the first leadership of the new city. When the election occurred that would have been JBE. He would have very likely had someone in there that was somewhat hostile to the new city, and it definitely would have been one of his Democrat buddies.
By Broome prolonging this, a Republican governor will now make that appointment.

This part was nice...
State Supreme Court basically told the Appellate "do you even law, baw?"
quote:
No voter or elector residing or owning land in the proposed area of incorporation objected to the petition. Thus, one can reasonably conclude they found the plan adequate. Only those persons have a real and actual interest in that claim. Only they can claim insufficient information in the petition to make an informed vote.
Cole neither resides in nor owns property in St. George. He did not, and could not, vote in the election. Consequently, he has no real or actual interest in challenging the sufficiency of the petition. Because no one from within the incorporated area objected to it, the court of appeal erred in considering the sufficiency of the petition. Thus, we reverse.8
quote:
8 Even if Cole had standing to challenge the sufficiency of the petition, we find no error in the trial court’s conclusion that the plan for the provision of services was statutorily compliant. The trial court’s finding that the plan was “minimally” compliant is true inasmuch as the statute itself requires minimal compliance in its silence as to the requirements of the plan. Thus, regardless of the standing holding, we would reverse the court of appeal on the merit.
