You do understand what becomes of this staunch defense of the status quo, yes? These families with "I'm in" signs out front continue to move out of parish (or state) and Shenandoah continues to age/decline very quickly. All because some people are worried the mall's $$$ will leave and they might have have to shrink their stupid budget, and look like fools if the shackles were cut from SG.


Your responses are purely emotional and offer zero substance. Do you even read the criticisms and rebuttals to some of the untruths that your leaders are spouting? Did you even acknowledge my concerns about Bodi White and Lionel Rainey III?

You need a good logical reason to raise taxes. All you've got are emotionally driven reactions and "why not?"

I'm not sure Bodi and Lionel are being honest in saying that incorporating helps get the school system through the legislature. If it still requires a constitutional amendment then I think you still need 2/3rds vote in the legislature and a statewide vote to form a new school system.

Just trying to be realistic, here.

I can't take seriously the Bodi White honesty bashing, if the alternative is to stand proudly alongside the honest folks like Kip, BRPD Union, Bernard Taylor, and the metro council.
The funding would have to be passed in the state legislature, but the system already created by the measure that passed this year. It becomes active as soon as the funding mechanism is in place.
Honestly though, I've only heard you and the Russian try to poke holes in the SG budget, but not a single workable solution to fix the ridiculous situation we're in. EBR neglected us but was happy to soak up the tax dollars. Show me a better way that's actually feasible. Love to hear hear the correct answer for our schools and the tax-to-service discrepancy in the unincorporated area.
