Which residential areas are not included?

My opinion is that you are trying to suppress the vote by actively campaigning against the end result before the vote is even assured.......you don't see it that way I got it but you are wrong this is what you have been doing.

I am a fan of yours for this opinion. Sorry for the offense, I wouldn't want to be associated with him either. I'm sure there is something that I would unfortunately agree with him on too so I can't hold that against you.

See I take this as sarcasm and maybe name calling and I do believe that makes it a form of bullying. To be fair I think more specifically you are engaging in cyber bullying.

I never said you weren't. I'm not making personal attacks. Maybe that is your MO so much you don't recognize that I'm not acting the same as you?
The library tax is a symptom of the overall problem. I've admitted it is a unique issue.

Tell us, where does this money for higher teacher salaries come from?
As I mentioned, by not spending money on Wifi to every nook and cranny of every School in the system and other issues of similar small impact. And obviously as you keep pointing out I am willing to pay more taxes for better schools that are better managed.

I hope you're laughing at Asgard. I had hoped he knew there were NO contiguous residential areas left out.

If he was envisioning a population of >300 million as opposed to <3 million in this country I do think he would have supported the rights and importance down to the city level. I wish he was around to clarify

You can't be "left out" of something that's not legal for you to be included in. Unlike the city of BR, SG doesn't use railroad tracks to make its boundaries contiguous. So again, I ask, what residential areas were "left out"?

Okay, I'm done with you. You're unreasonable in your logic. You're making up and misquoting Thomas Jefferson to fit your agenda. And nothing I can say will change your mind and you bet for damn sure there's nothing you can post that will change mine. So, bye.

Or are you under the impression that the proposed SG city limits encompass the entire unincorporated areas of East Baton Rouge Parish?? You cannot be serious.
Hence, again:

Who said anything about contiguous? I am just telling you that people in unincorporated areas who aren't in SG will vote against the school district. Your rhetoric is getting laughable.

Re-read what I said. There are no residential areas that could be legally contiguous that were left out.

Liar. I never said how many signatures we had, at any point in time. Scott McKay of the Hayride is the person who wrote the editorial about turning in the signatures early. I linked the article.

Your assumptions of how people will vote are what's laughable. Those people never had any expectations of being included in SG, and they certainly don't feel "left out" of what they could never legally be part of.

Dude. I was giving you a break-down for how the vote would go because you seem clueless to the fact that it will get shot down in a parish-wide vote.
Harp on semantics all you want. It doesn't make you any less naive or dishonest.
