The Advocate let the cat of the bag on the reasons
quote:

But Pierson said the Supreme Court failed to address two major components of the incorporation: the city's official boundaries and date of incorporation. Both are up to the courts to decide, according to state law.

The Advocate
We see now that she is really working for the Power Brokers funding the lawsuit. She and her legal team are trying to get the annexation date declared as of April 26, 2024 to prevent St. George from collecting the back taxes owed from October 2019 to present, and also to get their annexations filed after the 2019 election certification date validated.

My worry is that the Louisiana Supreme court will agree with this while still appearing to side with St. George on the incorporation, but being influenced by the likes of John Enquist, Charles Landry and Dick Lipsey.

I think it could easily be argued that the date of the vote being certified is the official date of incorporation.

St George has been running transition meetings for years which BR refused to attend. Pretending that a transitioning wasn’t happening didn’t mean that it wasn’t happening.

Considering the other state law issues in play, the latest the incorporation would be "recognized" is the date the vote was certified. Otherwise, an incorporation can be demolished solely because of litigation.
