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

My primary annoyance about the St. George incorporation is that it is simply drawing a line through what any rational person would think was Baton Rouge if they were looking at a street map. Zachary was a separate town over a hundred years ago. Zachary, Baker, and Central all feel as though you have moved through some relatively empty space when driving from Baton Rouge to those cities.

St. George reaches far beyond what would rationally make sense as their border to reach into Baton Rouge for business tax revenue, businesses that are there because the city of Baton Rouge exists, not because the village of St. George existed.

Were it not for that, I would have no issue with their incorporating. Not that my opinion on the subject matters. It would simply be nice if St. George supporters were a bit more honest about that.
