Besides some retirees, who would've even been home at that time? haha
No way at this point you can still be undecided.
ETA: The Advocate ran a bit this morning and I think ol' boy in the picture is quoted.

. @MayorBroome spent about two hours this morning going door-to-door in the Wimbledon neighborhood. It’s an 11th hour push against the proposed city of #StGeorge. Many said they’re still undecided and confused. Hear from both sides tonight on @WAFB

Thomas Nielson was among the first people Broome encountered in her Thursday morning walking tour. As they walked down Wimbledon Avenue, the retiree gave the mayor an earful about the St. George incorporation effort. He noted it was rooted in discontent with the parish's school system, and told the mayor-president that the displeasure shown by the 15,000 people who signed an incorporation petition cannot be ignored if Broome and her administration hope to extinguish their impassioned grievances.
quote:
"You have to figure out what would bring this city together," Nielson said. "The schools in this area are all successful. They're not failing schools," Broome replied. "We're a great city." "You don't have to tell me. I was here before you were born," Nielson said. "Clearly there's something that has not been addressed."
Dayyyuuummmmm

I don't understand the "divided we fall" message.
It's unincorporated. It may be incorporated one day just like Zachary, Central, and Baton Rouge. What's divided?

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

The pro St. George camp needs to use the efforts of those against incorporation against them.
Ask yourself this, why do you think the Mayor is willing to not only take hours of time out of her day but to walk door to door to campaign against this incorporation?
Answer: Money.

Maybe if she....
A - Showed up at all the crime scenes (no matter the time) in the City of Baton Rouge
B - Went to every public school in the City of Baton Rouge at least twice a year
C - Took a stand against Gravy and Silky at every public meeting
D - Came out against the shenanigans at the COA
E - Called the thugs out
F - Supported a competent Chief of Police
G - ____FILL IN THE REST OF THE BLANKS_____
then she would not be out on the streets protesting what the proponents of St. George have been begging for.

As the Parish President, it shouldn't matter to her at all. She should have been doing her job for the unincorporated citizens all along.
Just more evidence that she only cares about the tax dollars from StG.
2 more days!!!

This woman actually thinks the only people who get to vote are the ones that signed the petition. I kid you not
Posted on 10/10/19 at 2:12 pm to Areddishfish
God...if she comes in my neighborhood, I pray I am home.

This mayor doesn't give a damn about anyone in SG, Central, or Zachary.
Posted on 10/10/19 at 2:19 pm to Areddishfish
Broome looks desperate.
Posted on 10/10/19 at 2:23 pm to Areddishfish
She has internal polling that has incorporation passing by landslide. This is a last minute Hail Mary. I wonder if she needed GPS to find Wimbledon?

St. George will pass easily as long as proponents show up to vote. I hope to awake from my blackout on Saturday evening to see that the City of St. George has been born.

I guaranty that old Baw in the OP is asking her if it was her he saw twerking on Maury.
Posted on 10/10/19 at 2:48 pm to Areddishfish
looks like there might be a posse forming in the background
Posted on 10/10/19 at 2:53 pm to Areddishfish
I’m Surprised SWB can find SG.
