Russian--since we disagree on the revenue, answer me this--what specifically will cost StG residents more if they incorporate? In other words--we will we need to pay for that we don't already pay for?

Schools.....but that won't technically come with incorporation. It will take at least a year or two to set a school district up. St George needs a new high school and a new middle school.

Again....this is independent of incorporation. The new school district will take at least a year to setup- perhaps even more.

My suburb just split off from the Shelby County district. We had to raise sales taxes 1/2 cent. I think it's worth it.

Also....A blind comparison of city budgets is useless without detailing what new public services will be provided.
