I still wonder why the Costco, Celtic Studios and that credit union on Airline Hwy which were annexed a few weeks ago does not make the petition moot? Were they not included in the legal boundaries described in the petition?

The statement by Rainey is not consistent with that earlier annexation.


I saw some statements that said that SG had revised their maps removing Celtic/Costco before the petition went out. So I think they have been aware of this situation. But that begs the question, why didnt they alter their annexation borders so they could prevent a Baton Rouge counter-attack?

That makes sense. Thanks!

My guess is they knew if the MoL was not part of SG their remaining tax revenues would not support a city so the incorporation would fall apart anyway. But that's just a guess.
