If you don't think this is about greed then you are fooling yourself. The community that has always called themselves "St. George" does not include the Mall, Perkins Rowe, or the Gardere area which now has a casino.

The St. George people have lied to their supporters saying they won't need to raise taxes. The same thing happened when Central first incorporated.

St. George knows they would have zero ways of forming a government without the big money areas that are out of their "community" so they are trying to take them. All about money. People living around Bluebonnet, Gardere, Perkins, Essen etc are not from "St. George" and have never associated themselves with that area.

Similarly, the downtown people want the money too.

You realize those "people" aren't in Baton Rouge city either right? Of course it's about money those in the city want to keep it and those out of the city want to keep theirs.

So what?

The proposed St George City consists of the St. George and East Side Fire Districts . Both areas are not inside of the city limits nor are they included in the area covered by the city fire departments.

The fact that BR didn't want yo incorporate these areas is not the fault of SG. It is a result of the way BR had limited the services they provide and not because of anything SG did or didn't do.
