Yep. She kept saying that she continues to support a united Baton Rouge. Willfully ignoring that everything within St.George was never part of Baton Rouge to start with

Ask her if Baker, Zachary, and Central are still Baton Rouge.

Ask her if Pride or Deerford is part of Baton Rouge.

Get her to explain why St George is part of Baton Rouge despite the area never being incorporated into Baton Rouge. Should be good for a laugh.

It’s really stupid that BR leadership ever let things get to this point. The entire idea of a consolidated city-parish government doesn’t make any sense when the “consolidated” government has functions that only serve half of the parish.

I know this all started because of schools, but as someone who lives in BR proper my biggest concern moving forward is police. Crime has become way worse, even in affluent areas of BR, than it was 5-10 years ago. A guy who lives on Highland near LSU Ave. had all four wheels stolen from his truck last week. They left it on blocks.

Even with the StG gravy train, BRPD doesn’t do shite. It’s only going to get worse now. I’d rather burn it all down and give EBRSO the whole parish but I doubt Sid even wants it.

Not that any of this should be St. George’s problem.
