What’s the legal challenge here? There has to be something other than ‘we don’t want y’all to leave’?
The most "legal" argument is that there is a requirement of a plan and the incorporators didn't create a legally-sufficient one.
Then there are less "legal" and more "systemic" arguments, like alleging this is racist (trying to throw a hail mary on certain due process-related prayers).
Then there are literal "pound the desk" bullshite that can't even be considered arguments, like the "this will affect the city of Baton Rouge's budget!" that has no real legal merit.
This is after they rigged the system with the previous attempt, by randomly throwing out signatures in numbers JUUUST enough to dismiss the petition. This delayed the movement just long enough so that the city could incorporate major tax-generating areas.
This is dirty, terrible, and downright evil by the EBR-BR government leaders.

That’s how I feel about it. I don’t live there any more and likely never will again so I stay out of most of these threads BUT the plan and argument by Baton Rouge is just wrong and forced St Georges hand. If I weee in Baton Rouge, I’d have to a strong St George proponent because I couldn’t afford private schooling for my children.

This sounds weak AF.
I've never been to BR. From being on this board for a long time, I get the impression that the city is heading towards a Jackson, MS conclusion. Birmingham did this back in the 70's. The city has been slowly coming back since then. I hope that one day my kids or grandchildren are able to live in the areas my grandparents did back in the 40's and 50's.
