re: Woody Jenkins files lawsuit challenging annexation of Mall and Hospital

The suit, filed against the Metro Council and the City of Baton Rouge early Thursday morning, claims that the annexation creates a burden for law enforcement and “fails to meet the requirements of reasonableness” because it excludes anchor stores at the mall and was drawn around other properties.
None of that would seem to establish Woody's personal standing, though.

That's my point. I read the link. Law enforcement "problems" have nothing to do with harm caused to Woody Jenkins.

In the lawsuit...
quote:
Plaintiff, who is a citizen of Baton Rouge, owns three tracts of land and three houses in Baton Rouge. He pays more than $7,000 a year in property taxes. He resides in a "high crime" area and has recently been a victim of crime and would be particularly affected by any reduction in police or fire protection services...

The plaintiff has a very real interest in police and fire protection provided in high crime areas in the inner city. He objects to any action that would divert vital public safety services that are already stretched very thin to a remote area that is already well served by the Sheriff but that could consume important resources of the City of Baton Rouge that would be better spent protecting citizens where crime is the highest.
In short, he says "BR can't fricking do its job right as of now BEFORE they start trying to grab areas already serviced by BRPSO and St. George. That raises the chances I get killed by some assholes while waiting for the cops to arrive."
