[quote]This might actually lead to that further down the road, I mean I could see Zachary, Baker, Central and StG pushing for it.[/quote] One of these isn’t like the others. I don’t see Baker signing on because their shitty representatives also represent NBR....
Not sure if it were required but it would have been a good fricking idea considering the case was not resolved. Neither side was going to give up on this until it hit the state SC....

WAFB is trying to minimize facts given out in the case. WBRZ has finally admitted that the area was never part of BR, which they refused to do before this decision. This is a tacit admission they see this as a lost cause and are trying to save face....
This. State law lays out that any area under subject to an incorporation petition can’t be incorporated by another entity until the first incorporation attempt is resolved. SWB did the incorporation after the petition began, meaning it should have been considered void long before this....
[quote] She is directly responsible for all of this[/quote] In multiple senses. She was part of the bloc in the Senate that killed ISD funding for St George, then told them to form a city. Then when she got elected she did such a fricking godawful job that the petition got enough signatures ...
[quote]And yes, Baton Rouge will lose tax revenue, but they also lose a lot of expenses.[/quote] What city expenses are spent on St George? Parish expenses are used on St George. OTOH, St George subsidizes BR services they don’t get....
This assumes that most of the protesters are actually students and not rent a protesters....
I’d agree except that I don’t think there will be enough legacy costs to offset all the revenue in question....
Pretty sure the parish was supposed to budget from 2019 to present based on StG either existing or not existing. Those numbers are either so bad they are hiding them or they don’t exist. And given how the state treats taxpayers who don’t turn in taxes (estimates based on past history), BR could ...
[quote]This x 1000, but Mayor Broome is either too ignorant or too stupid to realize this[/quote] She doesn’t care. She would rather control the budget of a smaller parish than share money with other cities in a larger parish....
[quote]I hope St G goes fricking scorched earth. We bout to drag nuts all over 222 St Louis St.[/quote] Yep. There were all kinds of ways this could have been solved without St George becoming a thing but BR got greedy and wanted all of the money....
[quote]Funny that the most divisive Mayor-President in EBR history wants to focus on unity.[/quote] She basically told these areas “If you want control over your funding, make your own city.” So they did. And she regrets it because her dumb arse MADE IT HAPPEN in multiple ways....
[quote]She is definitely emotional and taking this personally[/quote] Because she made it personal to St George and it was her dumb arse who made it happen between her statements in the legislature and her mismanagement of BR. [quote]And she is turning this into a thinly veiled campaign event t...
She sounds like she is going to cry because she is so unbelievably fricked....

[quote]The bill would enroll every state resident in CalCare, which would include gender-affirming care, home health care, assisted living facilities, dialysis, and acupuncture. While private insurance would be banned, limited private care would be available for care not covered under CalCare, but p...
[quote]What I am betting the city does is negotiate the amount that St George would owe in unfunded pensions against what is in “escrow” that way the city doesn’t have to show that the money is gone[/quote] That legacy pension amount is set by a law mentioned in the case. It wasn’t as high as ...
