re: It's Happening!!! The St. George trial started Monday, May 2. Media stopped covering 5/10.

Baton Rouge Police Chief Murphy Paul testified that, after St. George's creation was approved by voters, the city-parish asked all department heads to prepare two budgets: a standstill budget and one contemplating a 20% budget cut. Such a cut, he said, would have a "significantly detrimental impact" on the police department's ability to do its job and would force layoffs.

So part of the city’s argument against incorporation of St. George is that incorporation would take funding away from a police department that doesn’t even have jurisdiction in St. George?

Isn’t that kind of the point?
