I saw some statements that said that SG had revised their maps removing Celtic/Costco before the petition went out.
That makes sense. Thanks!
quote: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.
But that begs the question, why didnt they alter their annexation borders so they could prevent a Baton Rouge counter-attack?

"The Celtic Studio/Costco area was not in their maps," Councilman Buddy Amoroso noted, "so this does not affect the new, proposed St. George at all."
A spokesman for the incorporation committee said organizers believed the businesses were already within Baton Rouge city limits, based on their interpretation of the law, so they never considered including them in the boundaries of St. George.

The land grab/tax base grab that their plan evolved to is certainly proving to be their undoing.
A Shenandoah area incorporation probably would have accomplished what they wanted, with a slight property tax increase.
