Pretty sure that's the dagger for St. George right now.

It's such a shame BR is ran by greedy politicos who only care about lining their pockets than do what's best for the community. It's sad.

This was all BR wanted. They will continue to ignore the problem EBR schools are and will do so until its too late and the problem drives the tax bases out of town towards places that have better schools. They could've met St. George halfway and gave them an independent school district but no they gotta have it their way like a child and they've succeeded.

Just think of all the new revenue they can piss away in the name of "improving the school system"!

First order of business, giving raises to all the EBRPSS administrative staff! YAY!

From their facebook page:

After numerous conversations with multiple attorneys over the last week, we DO NOT believe that tonight's annexation vote will invalidate our petition. We are continuing to move forward and will gather the remaining signatures to bring this to a vote.
This annexation should take the argument that St. George will bankrupt the City of Baton Rouge off the table.
This will not negatively impact the St. George budget - we have anticipated this and will make adjustments for that loss in revenue.
We are concerned about the St. George Fire Protection District. If the City Parish Government doesn't do the right thing by them, we will.
We hope that the City of Baton Rouge and opponents of this movement will stop trying to interfere with the democratic process. We WILL turn in the required amount of signatures and will gladly fight anyone in court who would choose to block our legal, democratic right to bring this issue to a vote.

I know you guys won't like this, but you need to go talk to all the breakaway cities in Atlanta. We've got this shite down.

Good I hope this kills the St. George plan. A slap in the face to everything the Baton Rouge name has done for the region.

Everyone I talked to in favor of st. George was uneducated and a bit racist.
