So, I guess you are saying the 50M transfer of funds is reasonable. I guess you are entitled to that opinion.

Thank you for giving me permission to have an opinion.

The intergovernmental transfer is a smokescreen put out there by unknowledgeable, low information voters. The budget is filled with money flowing between the "parish" and the "city."

There is no screwing of the unincorporated area by the city. In fact, the SG area pays a small fraction of the total property taxes paid in EBR. Not a single one of the top ten property tax payers are in St George. Take out the sales & gambling taxes collected from shoppers/gamblers from all over the area at the MoL, L'Auberge & Perkins Rowe (which is going to happen) and St George has a miniscule tax base compared to the parish as a whole.

This is the last time I will repeat these obvious facts.

Great, take all your top ten and well take our "leftovers" and let's call it even OK?

I think we will manage just fine.

Now on the other hand after we take our leftovers , the anti SG folk say they will be 50+ million dollars short. How is is that?

We are taking just the leftovers, right?
