Permitting and licensing in EBR is a bitch, SG can easily do better. Ask any contractor how tough it is to get permits and inspections now. Ask Architects you know. It is a huge problem.
This is the best selling point to the uneasy about SG imho. Reducing all the bs and money grabs that get in the way. Combine with less restrictive zoning re: commercial/residential while condsidering the traffic/drainage ramifications is the sort of thing that promotes good stable growth out here.

So you have no real reason to oppose SG? It's not that BR needs our tax money, it's not that you are against citizens forming their own city, but it's only because everyone on the SG side is dishonest.
OK

Then you know about the problems EBR currently has.

Lawyers were first brought in by SG to stop annexation of businesses who asked to be annexed, as was their righr.
And City Hall brought in lawyers to prevent SG from exercising their right to form a city.
BTW, I don't remember SG organizers hiring layers to stop parts of the mall from being annexed, or having lawyers involved with stopping any of the other annexations. Could you help me here with a link?

Can't wait when this fails miserably and all their residents start complaining about all the higher property taxes they will have to pay.
They will be begging Ascension to take them.

Good then maybe you can donate to the group to help them offset expenses of the petition drive.
Do you live in BR too?

Basically, life will be better because a better quality of people will leave in the area. It will be full of people who care about their local schools because there children will go there. You won’t have bussed kids in who don’t care about the area being nice or their parents being down the street. You’ll have more accountability by the government.
I’ve read most of this thread and see that there are a few people who are either scared or just trying to incite some discomfort with the situation. Their arguments, or positions rather, have zero merit and are only intended to spread false information to confuse the public. These people need to shut up. They are low lifes.

Yes, how dare someone have an opposing opinion. The audacity...... How dare they ask questions, perhaps we should just shut up and bow down to the Almighty, fictitious St George...

Perhaps some people who constantly post about SG should quit posting things that have been shown to be completely false.
The movement needs to be discussed, opinions shared, but when people post things that are not true (both sides are guilty of this) it doesn't help.
For example, questioning why schools weren't included in the city budget, asking why were circles drawn around apartment complexes, and people telling you that a vote for SG will let you escape Broome or the COA mess, etc. are all not based in fact.

They didn't even care enough to show up and vote against more money for COA, so I'm not sure why you'd expect the incorporated utopia to be any different.

You mean the legitimate concerns about this half-baked plan? Versus the bunch of feel good nonsense tellingly absent any facts that is coming from the pro-St George posters?

Is there a specific "St. George, It's Happening" gif? Because we need one pronto.

Yeah man, people need to shut up while the grown folks are talking. Some of these people are acting like kids.
We really should look at our voting laws. If you don’t understand the basics about government and have a low iq, then maybe you shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
It’s simple. There is a Parish government and a city government. Portions of lands outside the city limits do not fall within the city government. They are within the Parish government. If they form a city they will still be within the parish. They still are governed by parish entities, like sheriff’s department, parish recreational districts and the like.

The current messaging of the "status quo is bad, gotta do something new" doesn't justify a new layer of government out here.

Could it be because if they allowed st George Into the city, thus allowing them to vote on city elections, it would swing the power in a different direction?

False information like this.
Drive out of Mid City and go visit a suburban school and then come back and tell us kids aren't being bussed in to schools.

What do you mean "they" didn't show up?
There was a good turnout for that election. It was held at the same time Trump got elected president. The turnout was bigger than most elections.
How is it SG's fault that it passed?
