It’s not well thought out on a number of levels.

Which frankly is par for the course for the whole anti-StG movement.

I just spoke with ME Cormier again. She said shes waiting to hear back from EBRP about whether or not those annexed into BR would see an increase in taxes for CATS and BRFD. She's also waiting to hear back on who will service these areas for fire/police. She did say that she didn't think those individuals would be taxed if they were not receiving those services. When asked why would I want to annex if I'm not getting anything from BR, she said because of the uncertainty with the new city. She actually said at least you know what you're getting with BR. I took the high road and didn't say anything on that comment.

“So, take the plea bargain instead of the trial. At least with the plea bargain you know you will get fricked up the arse!”

One of the most leveraged cities in the country and one of the worst school systems in THE worst state for education.

I'll pass.

I can tell you from the number of emergency calls I've seen data on. Even though the area will be technically in the city of BR, BRFD won't even try to respond unless SGFD calls them to.

I have no idea how this will affect you, but please sign this petition quickly!

You should start a petition to annex into st. george

I thought about that. It would be pretty funny if I could get M.E's house annexed into St George. I'm pretty sure that my neighborhood as a whole would support it

so what's the advantage of annexing away from St. George?

aside from racism

Virtue signaling upboats from social media galore!
At least until the NPCs receive their next batch of outrage programming

Worth an effort. All you need is to make sure she is in the minority of any effort to exit BR / get annexed by St George.

We would have a statue of you placed in front of City Hall if you could pull that off.

So your taxes would go up if annexed into BR because of the 10.6 millage on Cats and the additional 12.9 millage for begin part of BR. Are these people idiots? LINK

You'd have to petition first to be de-annexed from BR. That alone would make her head explode.
