As someone who isn't living in BR, why the hell does this even matter? So what, you get your own town. That doesn't change much. Still paying taxes that go to the poor through state income taxes. Property values stay the same as there is no change in neighborhood demographics, just on a large scale by separating two cities, but no one is transferring houses. They can still drive through the area. The only thing this changes are some census data on wikipedia pages.

50 million dollars of tax revenue was going to Baton Rouge's general fund and not being used to support St. George. Now that money is going to be kept in St. George
