I don't think that the libraries should be receiving the highest individual percentage of my tax payment.



That percentage will certainly go down when you're paying more taxes for other stuff.

I'm not sure that really is a big issue. I do think they probably spend a little much on it but the tax was voted on by the entire parish. Libraries seem less important now days, though. I'm not sure anything changes after the incorporation. The library system is separate.

Has nothing to do with incorporating St. George. Residents of St. George will still be in the EBR school district. Fact.

The library issue is unique as technology as so rapidly obsoleted them. I use it as a sign of lack of priorities mainly.

On the day of incorporation of course. If St George forms I don't see how the formation of a new school district wouldn't have the support to be a reality.

Personally if I see my community make the choice to incorporate it would inspire me to get off the sidelines and vigorously use any influence I could generate to fight for the new school district. Not saying it would be significant but it would be more than signing a petition or posting on this board a few times.

You can say it's a legally separate process, but it is quite closely related to incorporation, and the people who support it.
