Did anyone actually doubt that the city approached the property owners?

Does this thread make you feel better about getting your arse handed to you last night by the CP council?

Would love to know what he promised them. You know damn well some back room deals were made.

It's not clear that Kip went out and single handedly recruited the hospital to join the mall. They BRAC and BRAF along with Kip approached the Mall. That could mean that BRAC and BRAF initiated the whole thing and asked Kip to come along.

IF he did in fact lie however, the effects of that lie are minimal. The effects of Rainey's lie were far more prevalent.

I'm gonna give you a little Info about all this.. There wasn't any backdoor deals, there was only information which both sides are smart enough to decipher...the real reason is simple.. The uncertainty of St George and what that meant to these businesses and the assurance that infrastructure was still a priority for that area.

Seriously, get over the loss.

Let's go over the two options:

1. Best case scenario he lied. That means the mayor, no doubt backed up with powerful shady forces like BRAF and BRAC have enough power to compel large retail businesses and land owners to bend to his will. In other works, Baton Rouge stacked; St. George fricked.

This is best case.

2. Worst case is he didn't lie. If you open your eyes you just might realize that a rational analysis by business interests reveal that they do not want St. George.

In this case either the incorporation effort will wither and die without the support of the business community (actually, this would be a good outcome as it would allow you to refocus on education) or if somehow still incorporation happens, businesses will be suffer. Unless you think your economic analysis is superior to those choosing to be annexed (hint, it's unlikely).


I have posted it before and do so now again: the incorporation effort is stupid and a wasteful distraction. Return to the original focus on schools.

I will now add you need to lose Rainey and Bodi as your leaders. Find others to step up (or do so yourself).
