Together Baton Rouge organizer leaves group, says ITEP not reason

He wants out before st George comes to fruition. Don’t blame him.

Imagine working for 10 years and this is the only credits to your name

Along the way, he helped secure victories for which the organization was able to claim at least partial credit, including passage of a dedicated tax to fund the Capital Area Transit System; increased awareness about issues like food deserts in north Baton Rouge; lack of health care access in underserved neighborhoods; and opposition to the St. George incorporation effort.

Rather, he says, he requested the move more than a year ago in a meeting with Perkins, a longtime community organizer with the Chicago-based Industrial Areas Foundation—with which TBR is affiliated—and who first brought the IAF to Baton Rouge in 2008 at the invitation of several local black pastors.

No,no,no....these groups aren't socialists

Meanwhile ExxonMobil announced plans to expand in Beaumont today. Imagine that.

Even if our tax abatement system needs changes, these left wing socialists were the wrong people to lead the effort. The community is more divided than before, but that's a hallmark of their trademark usage of agitation. I'm sure they'd consider this a sign of success.

Haha!!! Don't let the door hit ya!

Oh how Miss Lefty Stephanie Riegel loves her SJW. She has her man's back in the comments of the story.

Broderick was and is a high-profile community leader, effective and respected by many, myself included. He also has more than a few detractors. Whatever one may think of him, his departure from TBR is legitimate news and was covered as we would cover the departure of the leader of BRAC or BRAF or any other community organization. It has nothing to do with an "obsession" with TBR. I speak for myself, mind you, not some of the readers, who have posted vilifying comments on this page. If you're interested in how I have covered TBR and Broderick I invite you to read an indepth and thoughtful piece I wrote in 2018 on the organization, its history, effectiveness on Baton Rouge, where it was successful and perhaps where it was less so.

Why would a man who was Chicago Community Organizer want to be in the state of LA? Also, why would anyone from the city of BR or the state want a Chicago Community Organizer AKA "crooked union loving socialist."

Obama roots stem from that same organization. It's almost as funny as when we hired a school board president who's claim to fame was being a part of the Detroit public education committee. This state is a disaster and is doing exactly opposite of what it needs to pull itself out of the doldrums. It's almost like there is a certain group of leaders who are purposely getting rich off of tax payer money by enslaving those that are too stupid to want to do anything about it. I wonder who that group is?

I've already gotten family to move into the future St. George with me in the last year and might get another

How many low and middle income salaries and jobs did they screw with ITEP move? Light a fire and leave, typical socialist. Wonder when people will realize that a lot of their collection plates at churches went to Chicago.
