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?

It's really about schools

SG was told it needed to be a city to get their own school district. Well that's what they are trying to do. Form a city to form a school district. It's not complicated.

I'm fully aware the area is unincorporated. The supporters of SG like to claim that they are their own community like Central or Zachary or Baker. That may be true, but that "community" never consisted of the areas they are currently trying to take.

There hasn't been a vocal push from the bluebonnet area to be incorporated into SG. I've actually heard several businesses say they are deeply concerned at the prospect of higher taxes because the SG organizers have given them zero information.
