Mayor SWB looking like deer in headlights trying to figure out where funding is going to come from to run the city that used to be Baton Rouge.

If coupled with a subsequent school district, it will be a positive for the area.
Usable public schools and functional government that actually provides public services would be a great way to stop the outflow of young middle class families.
I honestly don't even know what any negative impacts would be.

I was talking to steve meve about this earlier. It could end up being bad, by creating a huge black hole in bee-arr-uh.

It can be good provided it’s done right,
We are supposed to be a capitalist society, if SG builds a better city and provides better services then it will be better than what we have now.
It would be even better if good folk in BR recognized the improvements and began to change themselves.

Good. Forces BR to make changes to how they run things or else they may lose even more.

Seems like if you police the shite out of it. Keep it safe and the riff-raff down or locked away. Keep the tax dollars local and do good things with it, you can have possibly the best city in the state.

The only loss in tax revenue to the EBR budget is from the 2% sales tax, right? Current EBR budget is $1.2 billion; I think they can make work.
I wonder if an increase in property values over time can make up some of that difference.

It will be a great thing. High median income will make for a good school system, good policing, and potential for new business that want to be in the area, but don’t like BR politics. It may even be good for BR with the politicians now having to worry about losing high tax payers. I may be giving BR politicians too much credit though.

She and her ilk are the ones to blame.. they take, take, take like there is no end to the free money. Sooner or later, the people who are paying the taxes get sick and tired of carrying the freeloaders who produce nothing but consume everything.
They are no better than locust.

People like some structure.
Decently run cities where property rights are protected and the basics are handled (roads, sewer, fire, police) at a reasonable cost. It should be a meritocracy and be no place for social experiments.
Build it and they will come.

I like the theory and the fact that the Citizens won their independence.. It'll be a cluster at first, but if done right it should be much better than BR. This doesn't fix the demographics of the schools or pull in the private school children, but the bar is set low, don't see how they couldn't incrementally improve. My kids will never see a public school in this State, nor will many others.

Potential for good.
A thriving city in EBR means that there is a chance for the parish to survive.
No city means, at best, people flee to other parishes if not other states.

Bad in the short term. Can be hugely beneficial in the longterm, but only if done so competently. Knowing that this is Louisiana and basic competency is an impossibility, I believe it will be largely negligible impact long term, maybe even a slight net negative.

It will be good for the firm that gets to manage "privatized municipal services". Good for the first few go rounds of mayor & alderman or city council members as deals are made with the entities that will run things and provide services. Also good for the developers that buy up & shite up every undeveloped square foot of STG.

Good if it leads to a school district.

Then she shouldn't have taken a dump on all of her white tax base every chance she got and only used their hard earned tax dollars in N.Baton Rouge while she let S Baton Rouge turn into a HOMELESS camp and crime ridden shite hole..
FAFO

Baton Rouge is shite even when stealing from St George. Now the idiots there will really see what tragic consequences come from those elected "leaders"
