re: Why does BR care if an unincorporated area forms their own city?

It was YOU, wasn't it? You are a BRMHS grad, right? And that was like your wife, right? Oh man, sorry about the "squeaky" comment. I didn't mean squeaky, I meant "charming, beautiful and persuasive"...

It was much more confusing back in the days before the city parish consolidated form of government was approved by a majority vote of all the voters in EBR Parish. In those days there was 1) a city council and 2) a parish council. There were literally two separate meetings of almost the same people with issues causing much grief over who got what when it came to budget time. Some members of the council represented areas within the city limits and also some areas outside the city limits. They sat on both councils.
The voters approved consolidated government in 1947. Surely, some things have changed since then, mainly, more people and more things in the unincorporatd areas. I mean, look at all the things that were not (before the recent annexiation requests) actually inside the city limits of BR.
Look at Jefferson Parish. People who live in Kenner have a city council member and a parish council member. It's not the same person (the idea that someone could hold both offices ought to not be allowed). They seem to live just fine. Now, look at Metairie. They also seem to live just fine - no problem with government services, etc.
There is enough people, and more importantly, enough tax base, in the unincorporated areas of EBR to support their own city government. That probably wasn't the case in 1947.

My wife doesn't do walks, so no. I'm just curious since your story isn't adding up.

There was a different consolidation that occurred in 1980's or early 1990's that affected the legislative branch of local government, ie, the city parish council. I don't feel like looking it up right now.
I only know about the two council set up because in the mid-70's I worked with a city councilman who complained about the confusing council meetings where they would hold the parish council meeting first and then the city council meeting afterwards.
His district was mostly city area but he had a small area outside the city in his district. So he had to attend both meetings. As I recall he told me 3 council persons who represented only parish areas would get up and leave the council chamber after the parish meeting was over because none of their district included any area within the city limits and the other council members has to stay for the city council meeting.
He also complained about the duplication of materials for the two meetings. They would vote on a resolution as the "Parish" council and then have to turn around and vote on the same resolution as the "city" council afterwards in the city council meeting.
I wasn't interested enough in my youth back then to try and fully understand what he was telling me but it sounded like a whole lot of bureaucratic BS. I know it sure sounded confusing to me.

Dude, you told us a story about how you don't answer the door, then told another one about what some "girl" sounded like......hello.

yeah, F this guy, its inconceivable that you can ignore someone knocking at your door, but then relent and get up to answer it because the incessant knocking is ruining your Sunday afternoon

Your reading comprehension skills are as poor now as they were in May when you started that thread. Two of us in that thread pointed out to you that your reading comprehension skills are lacking.
Now, once again, this is what I posted above in THIS thread: (Please read the quote below slowly out loud to yourself several times before replying.)
quote:
Actually he started a thread on May 9 with a link that said the petition was going to be submitted in a few days since they almost had the number of signatures they needed back then.
YOU didn't say the petitions were about to be submitted. But you DID start a thread with a link to an article that said that was about to happen. The article even asked anyone thinking about signing to hurry up and sign it before it was submitted.
Nowhere in that thread did you say you disagreed with the article you linked.
If you would like for me to provide a link to that thread which you started I'll be happy to do so. What's it worth to you? Will you admit you're a liar if I link it?

I guess don't answer had an understood, "except for when we do" included. His story is BS on a few levels. The volunteers that are out there walking don't go to the same house more than once, so I know he is making shite up.
It's an irrelevant story, but it just let's me know that the oppositional fabrications aren't limited to Russian.
Speaking of which, he can sign it 42 times if he wants, under false pretenses, but SG doesn't count that crap in their #s. Everything is based on voter registration data.

Russian said BRPD Patrols in SG. Stop changing his arguments, for him. IT was a stupid statement that he made, and now he is ignoring it because he knows it made him look like an idiot.

Once again, your nitpicking, semantics arguments show how desperate you are. And a liar.
Stop lying.

Bullshite. You said BRPD patrols in SG, and now you are changing the discussion 7 different ways to try to back out of what you said.
Tell us again, where does BRPD PATROL in SG?

Cmon, so every St. George volunteer is Mother Theresa, does nothing wrong, and follows all the imaginary St. George rules? I have been harassed by the volunteers going to the grocery store and getting gas in the unincorporated area. They don't take no for an answer, you pretty much have to tell them to get out of your face. Granted this was about a year ago, and maybe there are new imaginary St. George harassment rules "preventing" this

You figured me out man. I set up an elaborate ten year posting history just for this moment when I could sabotage your One-Issue-Zealotry. And now you have me. I'm a paid advocate. Kip's right hand honky. I don't really live in the 70809, nobody really knocked on my door. It's all made up-and you busted me. There was no young man and no young woman canvassing my neighborhood. No guac. No house. No chips. No kids at BRMHS. All made up. And my plans for world domination are now foiled....
Whereas, you aren't a ONE-ISSUE-ZEALOT with a post history that borders on ONE ISSUE obsession that inexplicably calls out ten year plus veterans of the board at all.
You are the genuine article. And I am exposed.

Wrong again. McKay gave his opinion that they should. He didn't say they would either. He has nothing to do with SG.
