We do know that SG did not receive service of the BRPD and BRFD, not should SG be responsible for the pension funds for those departments


No doubt about that. Those are the easy ones.

The regime simply cannot allow St. George to happen. They know how royally F*CKed they will be and they did it to themselves.


Yep

They screwed themselves but will never admit it, they'll double down on the stupidity

. As far as I am concerned, they can float a bond and let the remaining taxpayers - the ones who benefitted from money that was not theirs - pay the bond back.


If you can accomplish that, great.

Once LASC denies this rehearing, I expect the NAACP one to be filed in federal court immediately thereafter.


I’d expect abstention to be applied here. Very clearly a state law issue.

They would only be able to appeal it to a federal court if there were some constitutional issue involved.

I don’t see how there is a 14th Amendment case or other such constitutional issue involved, at least not until St George forms an ISD and the NAACP calls it white flight.

On what grounds do you think they'll be asking the feds to overturn a State SC on a purely State matter? Disparate impact? Backdoor red-lining attempt?



White privilege

Not in the Constitution unless they found a penumbra or enumeration to that effect.

The NAACP's concerns appear to deal with the school system which is not yet established. If it becomes against the City of St. George, then at least at this point the new city will have access to public funds for it's defense.

The local NAACP also sought to deconsolidate the City-Parish government, so I imagine their credibility in a case of this kind can easily be shot down
