They picked the current boundary lines because it changed from being about schools to being a power and money grab. They have no place to accuse the city-parish of being greedy.

The original plan was a smaller community school district. People in the small area would have happily supported and ISD tax to fund it.

What you have now is a monstrosity driven by your leaders ambitions. Your leaders failed you, period.



Totally agree.

One thing to remember is that they are regular citizens, many with real jobs; and on the other hand they are fighting City Hall and all that comes with it.

It is an enormous undertaking to try what they did and when they started I would bet they didn't envision any of this.

This is very true. it was a brave undertaking. I think since they have real jobs they should have taken more time to line up the ducks before putting their cards on the table vs the city.

They didn't "pick" boundary lines. The city of St.George is merely what BR never annexed. There was no drawing of lines.

Sure there were. That's why the original proposal that was just the school district was half the size of the incorporation effort.

One of these days you're going to post something that is factually correct.

The legislature told us to form a city, first. Here we are. We used the lines BR drew long ago. We had no control of what was, or what wasn't incorporated.

You have been proven wrong so many times, and have yet to once admit it. You're a joke. You may be the most argumentative SOB on here, and if thats how you get your jollies then fine. We all see you for what you are.

FACT: BR drew the lines.

Quick question for you: They can't even get 18000 people to sign a paper, that they are bringing to the people. Do you really think you can get the people to actively go vote?

Voter apathy is found on both sides of the fence. That said, you don't know if they have 18k or not.

Are you saying BR didn't draw the lines? If so, I have some oceanfront property to sell you. Right on the St.George line.

Baton Rouge did not draw the SG lines. The SG "leaders" did that....more than once in fact.

Today is STILL not that day.

Are you saying SG had no choice in the matter? They couldn't make the incorporation smaller than it is right now? Oh, City of Central says hello btw.

Mickey, you just don't get it.....everyone who lives in St George is a victim. Nothing that goes wrong is their fault. It's always someone else's fault who is out to just screw those good, honest, hard working, non-elite St George victims.

Not at all. I'm saying the lines they used were drawn by BR. It's simple, really.
