re: Baton Rouge finally admits they are against St. G because they've used it as a slush fund

It’s the way the law is worded, which likely dates back to the 1980 merger, when SBR was generally undeveloped.
Things have majorly changed in 40 years.

Why hasn’t the single downvoter responded as to why unincorporated persons need to pay taxes to cover incorporated city operating budgets?

Libraries have a dedicated parish-wide property tax, they won't be the least bit affected by St. George.
If anything, increased property values will be a net positive.

I’m sure she would say “Because racism, shitlord!”

Why are taxes from an unincorporated area of the parish being taken to use for funding an incorporated area's separate police force. St George taxes should be funding EBRSO, not BRPD
It's quite ridiculous. The even funnier part is that even though the city knew there was a chance that St. George would pass, they didn't even make a plan around it. They were actually quoted that in the Baton Rouge Business Report
How short sighted and stupid do you have to be to not even come up with a plan for something that most saw to be highly likely? And BR city residents wonder why the unincorporated areas want their own city funds

Why would this affect the DA?
DA total funds $6,972,670.00
From the EBR budget the DA is funded by:
47.2% CP
16.5% State
Fines 7.2%
Grants 13.3%
Other 15.8%
Reference page 100 pie chart
SG has proposed putting up $1,283,000.00 for their share.

I think SWB knew she'd tie them up in a lawsuit for a few years.

Sounds fair since StG is offering about 20% of the parish costs when they are one of five municipalities in the parish.
Edit - 20% overall but about 39% of CP cost.

It appears St. George was overly generous.
SG was putting up more than their fair share.

Should have probably just let us have a couple of schools huh?

Exactly, it’s all a stall tactic.

I guess there is a reason 50%+ of the streetlights are out in Jefferson Terrace and the potholes aren’t being fixed anymore.

Problem with this stall tactic for her is that it won’t last forever.
It lasts her through this term for sure. It may not last her through either of the next 2 and, in fact, may contribute to a challenger coming up for either of those terms.

They are doubling down now. Warren Drake said no new schools will be built at all in the St. George area.

I mean they do have that one shiny high school for all 86000 residents. I see his point.

The incessant downvotes in this thread are amusing.

SG has approximately 86,000 citizens
or approx 20% of the EBR population but we do not have close to 20% of the schools.
I know many in SG elected to go the private school route, but we’ve been paying our school taxes just like everyone else has.
In the last tax election they promised us more schools. I know one is under construction, but it seems they will renege on the rest even though a SG ISD is no sure thing.
Screw em. The CP and EBRSS has been screwing us for decades now.

Because SWB is busy suing SG. She will respond later. Oh yeah, there's also that 7 homicide thing the last week, but important stuff first.

Well said, fr33. Sad, but true.
