At their proclaimed "public" forum Tuesday night, several questions from St George residents and voters regarding the status of the signature numbers for the petition drive were ignored or avoided by the SG 'leaders.'

quote:

BATON ROUGE - People who would live inside the proposed City of St. George asked for specifics about how many signatures are on the petition, but organizers remained hush-hush about it at a meeting Tuesday night.

The group met at Woodlawn Baptist Church to discuss the effort and take questions from residents.

Twice when asked by the crowd how many signatures are in, leaders quickly became tight-lipped.

One man asked, "how many signatures do we need and when do we need them by?" He directed his question to Dustin Yates and Norman Browning. "We're close," Yates responded.

Another man asked if the effort had at least 14,000 signatures, and the conversation was quickly moved to another person in the crowd with a different question.

"It doesn't matter. We don't have enough. What difference does it make? We don't have enough," Browning told WBRZ News 2.

Looks like the movement is falling apart. With a little better planning and foresight, they could have possibly pulled it off.

There's no reason for them to hide the stats if they were confident that they would get all of the signatures at a certain time.

The decision to not publicly release the numbers is obviously strategic in nature.

How dare you question St. Norman, St. Lionel, St. Dustin, and St. Josh. They are all blessing us with their leadership because of their love of children and their want to save all of us.

They said in January they would not release any more numbers. That is their position, strategy, etc. Why would they decide in the middle of a meeting, just because someone asked, to release the current count? That would be pretty stupid.

And the title of your thread is bullshite Russian, and you know it. That is the ONE question we all knew in advance they won't answer, and for good reason. They fielded questions on all subjects last night, and were very honest and responsive.

So they pulled a Kip? Said everything while saying nothing. Nothing new to BR politics.

So did anything get answered last night?

btw, who are the "leaders" of the SG Movement? What is their background?


Sounds like they have botched this whole thing and would make Daryl Issa very proud
