re: Mayor Broome making last ditch attempt to sway voters (Updated?)

How unethical is it for the mayor to be actively telling people to vote no for something like this?

She's also the Parish President in addition to the mayor. Thus, I guess you could argue its something that involves her since she would be the President over St. George (at least presumptive). Whether or not it is "ethical" for a sitting Parish President to campaign on the issue, I don't know?

But the real question has to be asked (or at least should be asked) is why are people who don't live in the proposed area so adamantly against it? The answer is because it negatively affects them. How does it negatively affect a completely different city? Follow the money.

If St. George were such a horrible idea, then the opponents living in BR proper shouldn't care, right? It will be their "stupid" neighbors to the Southeast choosing to punish themselves. That should be a boon for BR because once the people/businesses in St. George realize their mistake, they'd come running back to the City of BR. And EBR would still be getting St. George's parish taxes, so it would be a win win for BR. What's the saying? If your opponent is digging a hole, let him?

Yet, rather than reaping the rewards on the back end of the St. George "mistake", the mayor and are ilk are DESPERATELY trying to prevent the event from even happening. Curious, right? And don't fall for the propaganda. It's not because they think "we are better together".

Sometimes the best way to figure out if an idea is good or not is to see who is opposed to it.

I'm for St. George and want SWB out in 2020.

But just because she's an elected official doesn't mean she loses her personal beliefs as a citizen. It'd be unethical for her to be doing such without taking leave time to campaign, though.

Also likely the first time she's set foot in that neighborhood since being elected.

This woman actually thinks the only people who get to vote are the ones that signed the petition. I kid you not

God...if she comes in my neighborhood, I pray I am home.

Exactly, she thinks the dollars are better together because she's the one that gets to spend them.

Broome looks desperate.

Day late and a dollar short. If she had been this concerned about the south side of the parish in the beginning she wouldn’t have to be out there begging people not to vote for incorporation.
