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

I think one of the most damning things for the anti-St. George incorporation people is the fact that there have been many examples of areas outside the city limits that have requested things from the parish, whether it be something relatively small like street lights or bigger like trying to become a part of Baton Rouge via incorporation that have all been outright denied because either they do not want to support the areas outside the city limits or cannot, however, they certainly have no issue taking the tax money and finding an alternative use for it as they see fit. And another argument they use is that people knowingly moved to this area knowing it was unincorporated....OK, but again, if the money we pay in taxes is good enough to spend then maybe we are also good enough to be a part of the city. The fact that they do not want to consider that has led us to this (and of course the school system obviously)
