The Metro Council declared war on the unincorporated area tonight

There are already 3 other threads about this on the first page.

BTW: do you think you're entitled to the mall's sales tax dollars or that it is treasonous to seek a lower tax burden? If so, why?

The metro council and the mayor are trying to suppress a vote of the people which the law says they have a right to make if the required number of signatures are obtained. It's absolutely disgusting that city officials are trying to invalidate a petition from fellow citizens.

Definitely an urbanite.

The mayor's office is using scare tactics and is begging businesses to incorporate. If you don't think some shady shite is going on then I don't know what to tell you.

Working overtime for the mayor's office tonight?

I'm tired of running and surrendering ground. I guess that makes me one. I'd like to have a city that begins thinking like one too. Maybe one day we can begin thinking like a city, after the last ditch boomer mentality dies off.

You can start by improving the schools and maybe give st. George their own independent school district and you'll have the fundamental building block to build with.

People aren't going to come live in BR if the schools are utter shite. They won't give a damn how nice the rest of BR or downtown looks or or what good restaurants, malls, or complexes it has.

Like the guy who leaves his house abandoned to travel and upon returning some years later, he's real surprised to see insects, rodents, and birds have taken up residence there, thinking he obviously didn't want it anymore, and now the termites have gotten to the woodwork, and as he surveys his old home he says goodbye to it because it isn't as pretty as she used to be.

And that's what the Boomer legacy is. Disposable debt driven society.. It's just a damn shame their city isn't too big to fail.

The annexations will still take place.

And what happened to your "trump card" which you claimed SG held?

Weren't the SG leaders supposed to submit their petition this morning before the CP Council meeting in order to stop the annexations?

That is what I do not understand about this.


Are those in opposition of St. George against it because of tax dollars? Especially with the schools?


It is almost criminal that many people within Baton Rouge have to send their kids to private schools that are expensive as well as pay taxes to fund public schools that are shitty.
