Still they drive this message that somehow this area of EBR Parish was part of city,...it never was.


This statement is completely disingenuous. It may not have been in the city limits of Baton Rouge but it was definitely part of the Baton Rouge community.

If St. George was a community and never part of BR then how come mailing address has always been and still is Baton Rouge. This whole thing started when Bodi White failed to establish "Southeast Baton Rouge Community School System".

St. George is named after a fire department. Prior to 2015 (or whenever the original petition started) No one had ever heard of St George. Quit acting like St George is some long standing community like Central before its incorporation or other unincorporated communities such as Prairieville, Metairie, etc.

The true failure in all of this is falls upon the Baton Rouge mayors for not extending city limits as they invested in the growth of SE Baton Rouge in the '80s and 90's.

You're pretty confident for someone that doesn't know what they're talking about.

If this isn't an el Gaucho level troll, please consider deleting.

This is literally the point of the whole thing.

Do you even zip code?

ALL the SG people wanted was an independent school system. The original plan wasn't to create a city.

Pretty sure there was no intent to ever include our little cash cow. It's why they're fighting it with such gusto.

The area OUTSIDE of the city limits has to request annexation, not the opposite.
