Well, that's just completely false
His secretary mistyped that, or he misspoke. I think what he meant was that Baton Rouge residents should be able to elect their own mayor, without others not in the city limits voting.
I have always found that an issue. As Mayor of Baton Rouge, your sole concern should be Baton Rouge proper. As Parish President, you need to worry about the entire parish. I don't see how one person can have both interests at heart. Not everything that is good for the parish is good for BR, and vice versa.
But, I think this guy is an idiot, that needs to take a step back and put the race card away. Blacks shouldn't have any more access to services than whites, and vice versa. That goes for all nationalities and ethnicities.

Yes, that's what he's saying but he worded that specifically to infer that BR residents have no power to elect city/parish officials. The AG will see through that, but the avg moron won't.

Good post.
And they should be informed that Kip(like JBE) won the election with strong crossover support by many white Republican voters..
Many who believe Kip to be by far the best Mayor in BR during their lifetime.

That was exactly what the residents in EBR wanted when they voted for a combined govt. in 1982.
ETA: Actually this was in 1947. The voters ok'd the formation of a Metro Council in 1982.
