What have I done to 'roadblock' the effort? I have consistently said I hope if the election is held, the sooner the better to get past this divisiveness.


Your continued bullying and aggressive anti-incorporation on this public forum is what I would consider an effort to stop the issue from even making it to a vote.

Your feigning innocence and cherry picking who is "honest" or what is "true" is disingenuous (I.e. An accounting firms study not being affected by the sponsor. This doesn't make it unethical).

I believe self-governance is a founding principle of this country and no matter how many times you smirk and act like you are fine with that, you are actively trying to suppress the vote.

The leaders for incorporation have to combat the scare tactics of the anti-s by highlighting the positives and giving what they hope to be the best case scenario. No one can predict with 100% certainty the effect. I'm fine with the risk.

I don't have the time to spend continuously debating point by point your inconsistent and tremendously biased views. I believe people should make up their minds with out absurd rhetoric on both sides.

I just wanted to throw it out there that I'm one vote, one taxpayer who vehemently disagrees with your take on the issue.

I am the guy who any community would wish they had as a productive member. I have a business based outside of EBR but because I reside in EBR I use a tremendous amount of EBR based businesses to support mine. If St George doesn't happen I'm choosing to move to a community willing to invest in the future, not in the dysfunctional past. When that happens I will make it a point to discontinue use of EBR based businesses.

Maybe I'm the only guy like me, I don't care but EBR supporters should consider the possibility of incorporation making the entire parish better over the next 30 years. It's a cut and dry situation for me, incorporation or I'm done.

You're not the only one. The flight of working families from the parish began long ago. You or me leaving if incorporation fails probably won't be a blip on a downward trend already happening, but it still matters. We've been called many names since this effort began, but the families quietly moving to ascension and livingston, or further, speak louder than we ever could. Ryan Heck said long ago that SG may be the only thing to save BR from itself, and I couldn't agree more.

You sound like a swell guy. I have a business outside of EBR, too. It's in 42 countries.

"Bullying" on an anonymous message board?!

You are 100% wrong. I can't believe you own your own business and yet can't comprehend written English. I don't want to "suppress" any vote. I want voters to vote "NO!" There's a big difference, swell guy.
