Peggy Gonzales was probably the worst of that group.

I really didn't pay attention to the names of the speakers. The speaker who stood out the most to me was the guy who read from the Dr. Seuss book.

Here is a comment from the 'comments' section in the Advocate's article on the annexation meeting last night:

At Better Together, we have made it a practice to refrain from calling into question the motives or intentions of the St. George proponents. It is a practice we will continue.

There also are moments, however, when accountability demands precision and honesty.

For the St. George leadership to argue in every possible venue over the last two weeks that the annexations would invalidate the St. George petition; to hold that position right through a council vote on those annexations, with dozens of speakers denouncing the Council in the strongest possible terms for supposedly interfering with the petition process; to do all this, and then turn around immediately after the vote and admit that “after meeting with out legal team over the last several days, we now believe this does not invalidate our petition."

This reflects what can only be considered duplicity and a basic lack of integrity.

The St. George leadership pretended to believe that the annexations would interfere with the petition, merely to influence the outcome of the vote in their favor, and then admitted immediately afterward that they were being dishonest simply as an attempt to gain a favorable outcome.

We do not believe the majority of the St. George supporters, who probably were left in the dark, are responsible for the actions of their leadership on this matter.

But that leadership owes an apology to every Council Member and every citizen of our City-Parish.
