I'm not 100% for St. George....but I'm about at the point now where I say frick it lets give it a try because we can't get much worse from an administrative and educational perspective. I think a good many people are like this as well.

Yes... It can get worse, and at a faster clip too.

Starting a new city isn't the answer though.

People bitch and moan about the federal government constantly. Does anyone say "Hey let's break free from America and start our own country in Louisiana!" Hell no. You deal with it, or you make an attempt to get people from your area on the school board, metro council, legislature, etc to push solutions to your issues through. The private school education is great in this city also, from the elementary level all the way through high school. Public schools are a mess, yes. How in the world can anyone be sure a new city will alleviate these problems?

I live in this St. George Proposal and i'm definitely against it. This whole "Village of St. George" thing reeks of a backyard BBQ movement of people who decided they are upset with the town/government/schools/etc and decided one day, "hey it would be a great idea to start a new city!!!! YAY!!! That will fix everything" The majority of the ones in support of this have no clue how to run a city, what's involved in it, and are so unprepared for this. For those reasons, I am against it. This city isn't perfect by any means, but IMO this idea smells of disaster.

Reminds me completely of this:
