Only way to rehaul it is to take the kids out of their shite homes with parents that don't value education and put them in some sort of boarding school where their parental influences won't impact them.
Simply spending more money won't solve crap.

There is a point doers do, and people that have a committees for everything don't do!

More than 70 percent of the population in the proposed new city is white, whereas 55 percent of Baton Rouge residents are black and 40 percent are white.
I looked this up to see if the stats are correct.
Of course you can't readily find the demographics in the proposed St. George because there is no such city, but you can find the demographics for the City of Baton Rouge, and for East Baton rouge Parish.
According to the 2017 census:
BR 40.8% white 50.4% black NOT 55% as stated above.
EBR Parish is 49.5% white and 45.9% black.
FWIW, per Wiki the City of BR lost population from 2010 to 2015 (estimated 903). The parish grew, but not that much in the same time frame ((est. 6,582 people which isn't very much).
Why is the report slanted? Why make it simply a racial issue when we know education, taxes, and quality of life is involved too? Why should a large segment of the population lose their right to incorporate simply because others THAT ARE INCORPORATED ALREADY in their own city don't want them too?
Our parish has worked well under the present system. For a long time we had three cities, and now we have four. Citizens who wanted to form a city had a right to do so. For a long time EBR had one school system, but in recent history citizens had a desire to form their own ISDs. Now we have four school districts.
Now we see people who want to change the rules, take away rights from me and others, rights that many of my fellow citizens have long enjoyed. I hope people see what's going on, and don't follow the lead of the race baiters.
St. George tried to form a city. Enough people signed the petition, but too many changed their minds and withdrew their names causing the petition to fall short. The bottom line is the organizers lost. Sure the obstacles from city hall and outsiders was great, but the bottom line is they lost. If they want to reach their goal and let the people vote on St. George, they will have to do a better job.
Meanwhile the Mayor and the city hall cabal will work tirelessly not to repair NBR, not to improve the roads, bridges and highways here, and not to make the quality of life better; but to change the law to target St. George to prevent it from ever coming to pass.
Really sad.

I made that comment earlier. You can't deduct your time consulting to a non profit, but you can deduct money spent to do the consulting: food, gas for travel for example...

the Sub-committee believes that Baton Rouge is plagued by our racial divide. People with privilege must recognize it, understand it, and act against it in order for our city to move past the divisive lines history has drawn. Baton Rouge must all identify where structural racism and white privilege create a system of preference in economic, political and social systems.
So when does St. George get formed? They should acknowledge and confront the victim mentality , education system issues, and breakdown of the family unit. None of which are some socially constructed shackle invented and purpetuated by white people

This wouldn't be a problem if their method of preventing St. George from happening was to compromise with the leaders of the St. George movement to give them more and better community schools with more and better oversight. The only reason, ONLY reason, the St. George movement exists is because the schools in EBR are atrocious. However, the school system is used as a daycare system and jobs program at best, ponzi scheme at worst by the EBR School Board, so they don't want to fix the system because it is ignorant impoverished students who become the ignorant, impoverished voters who, while relying on entitlements, vote those people into power in elections. They need their population to be ignorant, poor, and entitled to manipulate them to keep supporting these failed ponzi schemes which the corrupt elected class use to steal money from the taxpayers.

Originally for me it was all about the schools, but look what we are seeing now. City leaders fighting as hard as they know how to keep the status quo and the tax dollars from the suburbs rolling into the general fund where they are mixed with city funds and spent on city business with no real way of seeing what is spent on parish business.
Now you would think that these people would reach out and try to work with St. George leaders to accomplish a better parish, but were any of these people asked to serve on the committee? In fact how many citizens from St. George served on any of the committees?
More and more I wonder if we in St. George couldn't do better than this.
