I don’t think Baker, Zachary, or even Central got this much resistance.


To be fair, none of those are nearly as populated nor situated as squarely in metro BR area as the proposed St George area. This is a very large percentage of the taxpayer base for BR and it will cripple BR proper.

Whether or not you care or think that's a good thing is really The debate at hand.

That's what happens when you cater to your least capable.

I never understand why it bothers people that communities want to be a real community that's self sufficient and prosperous.

And there’s the problem.

The producers are fed up with having their taxes pissed away by the takers and then being told they have nothing to say about it.

Fine. Henceforth, the takers can try standing on their own two feet. The prospect of that scares the living shite out of them.

SG will keep only 5% of the revenue currently going to the CP budget. BR will have to learn to be more fiscally responsible.
