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...


That's a mighty big stretch for having personal standing. If this is allowed, it could set a dangerous precedent for allowing any number degrees of separation to be considered as personal standing (kinda like Wickard v. Filburn).

I agree, but if the Council and the Mayor did not follow the rules and if the propers were annex "illegally"; who would have standing to sue??

Only Dillards, Sears, KCSRR ?

Could any citizen of the parish?

Citizen of BR?

I'm asking because I have no clue.
