Now? It was ghetto as hell in the late 90s.

Looking at a map of BR city limits, there’s only a few areas left that are unincorporated & not in STG lines. I would imagine BR would try to annex Monticello, Glen Oaks, & Centurion neighborhoods. Not sure about the South Burbank area.

Nope. There was nothing stopping BR from annexing them before. Plus the city would then need to provide them services/police protection. That’s more money out of their pocket for areas that pay little to no property tax (other than centurion).
There is also a process. They will never get this from those areas:

majority of the registered voters and a majority in number of the resident property owners as well as twenty-five percent in value of the property of the resident property owners within the area

Man she seems real pleasant.
quote:
Baton Rouge attorney Mary Olive Piersen represents East Baton Rouge Parish Mayor Pro Tem Lamont Cole, who is among those who filed suit to block St. George.
Pierson says she will file the request for a rehearing before the May 10 deadline to do so.
It is rare for the Louisiana Supreme Court to grant such a request.
Pierson says the request will include multiple issues for the state’s highest court to reconsider. She did not elaborate on what those issues are.
quote:
Supporters of St. George said Monday they believe they are entitled to taxes collected from their area over the past five years, the time period that St. George was tied up in a legal fight.
Organizers of St. George laid out their next steps Monday coming off a State Supreme Court decision.
Pierson said, if that is the case, she believes the parish should be paid back for any services and improvements the parish provided during that time frame.
“Money is a two-way street,” she said. “If you want your money back, well, give us our assets back.”
Man she seems real pleasant.

MOP does not represent the city. She represents Lamont Cole as a private citizen. But her using this kind of terminology she basically shows that this suit was filed by proxy for the city.

This all but ensures that Ted James will be the next mayor-president. Sharon is digging herself deeper.

I’d take that deal right now. It’s a fair one and I know SG would come out way, way ahead.

It’s a charade. The court already threw Broome out and the SC questioned how Cole even had an issue when they pointed out he wasn’t a resident.

I've never been to a city that had ZERO nice new part of town. There's always a growing side with new development. Not Baton Rouge.
Clearly you haven't ventured anywhere near the brand new nice area of Rouses on Airline and Long Farm development.

I could see there being push back from Baton Rouge towards maintaining the consolidated government, but that may not be enough anymore.
Yeah, I love the irony here.
White leaders from the burbs were starting to lose control of the city, so they consolidated the council in 1982.
Now that the black leaders in the city are running the show, the burbs want out.
History is fun.

Yeah, it probably has nothing to do with the absolute abysmal state of everything about the city-parish.

Because it was so well run in the past... Are you new to Louisiana?

The city can't annex them correct? The area has to petition for it?
