St. George supporters do not have to restart collecting signatures for their petition to create a new city because of the boundary changes caused by the recent annexations of the Mall of Louisiana and other properties into the City of Baton Rouge, according to a Monday opinion issued by the Louisiana Attorney General.

All the St. George talk seems to have died down. On this board and in general.

I agree. I wonder why?

Next move is the presentation of the 18,000.

When the drop happens, it will probably be 20k plus. The only deadlines now are July 23 for the November election, or September for the December election. The organizers want cushion. We all know the petitions are going to be nit picked.

The legislative session is over, so the weekly news about bills aimed to stop the movement has subsided. The mall annexation will be in courts for a while. The news may be quiet, but the beat goes on....

In before Russian comes in with sime stupid fricking comment about how he knows the procedure and the AG is wrong. He'll argue for 2 days about a word in your post or some other proper grammer bs.

and then there's deadlines for the 2015 elections.. and then the 2016 elections and so on and so forth. You never know! Its a secret.
St. George leaders will be wasting everyone's money in court trying to stall the consensual annexation of a swath of land that has zero residents and thus zero students.
This is about schools, eh?

Wasting everyone's money?
The metro council/mayor did a hack job with the annexation and that is nobody's fault but their own. The lawsuit was filed by Jenkins, a resident of BR. ST.G hasnt filed suit. Get your facts straight.

It was originally only about schools.
But, given the opposition, it has become about incorporation...which of course has a direct impact on St. George getting its own school district.

He said "St George leaders." Woody Jenkins fits that description. Stop being willfully deceptive.

I don't see the big deal, the St. George leaders already said it wouldn't affect their tax plan at all. I'd offer an assessment of that, but the top secret tax plan hasn't been made public.

The law also states you cannot annex PART of a property. You therefore can't use a small portion of KCS railroad to make your "contiguous" annexation. Boom.

Nothing matter until we get the 18,000+ signatures turned in and certified.
We can debate the merits of having a different city and different school districts later.
But FWIW, it wasn't too long ago that city leaders including Kip Holden told us we needed to be more like Austin Texas.
Well Travis Country where Austin is has several cities and a dozen or so independent school districts.
EBR use to be larger than Travis County, but now we are less than half the population.
Maybe this better together stuff is just BS? Maybe our city leaders were right? Maybe we should be more like Austin, Texas?

bullshite. Your rhetoric is getting old. Woody is not one of the petitioners for incorporation, he is not involved in decision making, and he doesn't even volunteer for St.G. He is a resident of BR who owns a small paper, and chose to file suit on his own accord, based on what he believed. Spin your bullshite how you want, but you really have no idea what you're talking about.

Your lies are getting old. Jenkins is one of the most vocal St George supporters in the city.
Get your facts straight.
quote:Lionel Rainey, the Third is not one of the petitioners for incorporation either since he doesn't live in St George but he is still a St George supporter.
Woody is not one of the petitioners for incorporation,
Get your facts straight.

Same ole crap, instead of debating the merits of having a large school system or one large city; they'd rather make it a personality contest and run down Bodi White, Rainey or Jenkins.
Yet we see Taylor and other high ranking school administrators and even a school board member caught up in scandals and they say nothing.
Better Together is BS.
