Right, but how dumb are St. George organizers for getting their legal advice from SWB and then repeating it as if it were the gospel? You'd think they'd have their own lawyer verify it. They're no better than WAFB.


As a member of the House of Rep SWB blocked the SG school district. They got close getting their district, but they couldn’t quite get the necessary votes in the legislature to fund it . SWB at that time told them they needed to form a city as Central had.

The organizers took her at her word then, but they had no way if knowing she would become mayor and with the help of her people and downtown interests she would be able to block the city even after a duly constituted election.

Were the organizers dumb? No. Were they politically naive? Certainly, but they had no way of knowing just how corrupt politics were in EBR.

Now they know as we all know now. Nothing SWB says can be taken at face value. She tried here to pull a fast one over on the public. No doubt she did that before. She’s no rookie. I wouldn’t trust anything she had said about SG, crime, her street plan, or any of her other plan either.

That was terrible advice and you either A) fell for it or B) tried to use the lie to your advantage to get what you REALLY wanted which was control over city cofers and zoning.

This is especially rich, considering the main organizer is Bodi White who once put up a bill to get Central out of BREC and then puilled it after BREC purchased land from him and agreed to develop commercial property for him and his real estate partner.
