What about the majority of households which don't have children?
Here's one here.....no kids and live in St George
Signed the petition in the first week
I'd gladly pay any tax increase to have St George and would vote for incorporation assuming a doubling of my tax liability without hesitation.
I'm tired of the highest percentage of my tax payment going to the libraries ($255/year). The next highest percentage goes to school salaries ($170/year) and the total payment to the EBR school system is $1,072/year with absolutely zero return on that investment in my opinion.
If St George doesn't go to vote and win within the next year I will be selling my home and moving.
I own property in 6 different parishes and 4 different states and there is not another place as upside down as EBR.
To hear the John Delgados, LSURussians, Bubba plauches and the rest of the "my child is in the magnet program" crowd try to roadblock this effort is against the founding principles of the country and sickens me.
If they successfully scare people into not incorporating they can gladly find another person willing to continue funding their plunge into the abyss.

I do have a problem with the organizers lying about no new taxes would be needed just because they know if they told the truth about it the incorporation would not stand a chance.
And I'm glad an independent accounting firm has made an analysis and at least started the public debate about that issue. I look forward to reading Lionel Rainey The Third's promised "independent" analysis of the SG budget from their standpoint.

So let me get this straight. You want higher taxes so that the percentages spent on libraries and teacher safeties won't be as high?
Sounds smart.
