To create the city will cost residents extra in tax dollars. Splitting the city will cause issues in the parish government and will likely exacerbate some social issues between the two areas. And in the end it might bring the federal government back into the the school system if they pull out of EBR.

If you think all that is worth having your own school district composed of the same kids plus some magnet kids, along with the same teachers and some of the same administration go ahead and vote for it.

Seems like high risk and a low reward situation to me.

It isn't splitting the city, it is incorporating the currently unincorporated area. Also, it will keep money in the area that currently goes to the rest of BR, I think any threats of costing more is propoganda.

I would wager that people told Zachary and Central the same thing. People now flock to both of these areas for the public schools. Property values in these areas have skyrocketed as well due to improved schools.
