I am a conservative and I want NBR to be developed and be developed successfully. Why? Because I don't like seeing people and cities fall into disrepair and become crime ridden slums. Both dems and repubs should agree on this. How it's done however is a whole different story and, unfortunately, I think our new mayor-president will follow the same, old, tax and spend, and divisive policies that have failed virtually everywhere they have been implemented in diverse areas

When will St. George be official so I can know where to go and not go?

If the people of NBR remain the same in terms of their attitude and acceptance as victims you are absolutely correct. If they accept the law and order literally everyone else abides by and rejects the law breakers, it could significantly help rejuvenate the community

Early Fall, I believe.

God I wish I could tell you. The way that the petition "didn't meet the requirements" last year was so exceptionally dirty and underhanded. I think a lot of people in St. George were not going to vote for it until their decision was stolen away from them.
Honestly though, when St. George passes traffic is going to suck Mandingo crank as they try and upgrade all the roads that need it

I agree, blighted areas of our parish hurt everybody.
I don't have an answer except you need to Educate the kids and police the streets. We aren't educating kids, and we need to build up our police force and treat cops better. And citizens in these areas need to get on board and support law and order.

I don't think anyone wants NBR to remain a shithole. The issue is that they want to remain "hood" yet want to be Town Center at the sane time.

You and I agree. For far too long parents have not cared about education of their children or at best pushed that responsibilities to the teachers instead of at home. While at the same time preached to them If they don't succeed, it's the teacher's/Administrator's/cop's fault. This has to end

Which is why I said accepting law and order. If that doesn't happen "gentrification" will remove that choice from them as they are priced out of the areas they want to keep "the hood"

Golfer, do you still believe Broome will have a small effect on BR? Lol
That wasn't what I said. I said she would largely be held in check by the majority republican council and leadership at BRAC, BRAF, etc.
In 4.5 months we've heard next to nothing. I'm still wondering what she's doing.
The Advocate article is incredibly embarrassing. I had a moment back in January that I'd apply for the CAO job. But being an outsider to the SWB transition team and not a supporter of her campaign I figured it was a waste.
Turns out that I was incorrect

William Daniel's qualifications made him extremely well qualified for this job. Kip always had a top notch administrative officer that ran the city while Kip made the appearances, kissed the babies and chased big breasted blondes. If this hire was based on the same criteria as her other hires, hating whitey was the only qualification that mattered.
Baton Rouge is destined to become another Jackson, MS. City core that's almost entirely black and left to die (literally and figuratively) with white cities building up outside the original city. In our case, it will only exacerbate existing infrastructure problems, especially with I-10 and 12. Meanwhile, homes can't be had in Livingston Parish, with even those that flooded selling at a premium compared to their value prior to the flood. Started immediately after the election results were in, as anyone that was paying attention knew what had happened when she got elected.

There isn't anything "moderate" about SWB. Anyone saying that hasn't spent much time listening to her, one on one, or in public appearances. The biggest difference between her and C Denise is polish and a thin veneer that apparently fooled a lot of people. While I'm old enough to see some real losing combinations, this is the absolute worst mayor/governor team one could imagine.

I have yet to see ANYTHING that isn't racial politics from her.
Yep, and anyone who disagrees with her administration is immediately labeled a racist by her goon squad. I didn't know much about SWB when she was in the Louisiana Senate, but I have to admit that I've been very surprised about how unabashedly pro-black her administration has been thus far.
