re: Editorial on St George: Now we’re embracing the greater good

Yeah, and about that...
Magnet schools are good in that they give the best kids opportunities. Problem is that the way the city has handles it pretty much created a tale of two school systems... one of magnet schools filled with A and B students with futures, one of regular schools filled with C, D, and F students who aren’t expected to amount to much.
The main issue at this point is that the magnets are so large they have strip-mined the other schools of quality students to where they are doomed to failure.
But, on the other hand, magnets are as large as they are because these kids would otherwise go to private schools because no one wants to go to the regular EBR schools.
It’s a sign of how completely broken the EBRPSS is, yet people see the magnet system as a rallying cry of “frick you, got mine.”

Really? It's a stupid statement? What exactly are they "splitting" away from? Doesn't the area have to be a PART of the city to split?

Taking away the money will force change to happen. It will help everyone in the long run. If St george doesn’t pass then nothing will ever change

Honestly, I like to point out that it is splitting the city because it causes the band of idiots to all chime in at once that this isn't the case; that the people in the unincorporated area always felt they were not part of BR, etc.
Obviously this is technically true or else there wouldn't even be a vote. However, it is effectively true in every other sense of the word and everybody knows it. This is underscored by how gleefully it is pointed out that creating StG will frick those in the city. This passionate arguing over a technicality makes these guys look ridiculous.

And why is it fricking over the city? Because they have their hand in St George’s wallet to pay all their own bills and St George wants to stop that.
BR is a parasite living off others and doesn’t want to be forcibly removed from the host.

Now, THAT's racist. There aren't enough "good people" outside of St. George? Yikes.

I’m interested in seeing what legal efforts they have which will withstand even a cursory challenge.
The parish charter bit about limits on municipalities is dead on arrival because the state constitution explicitly overrides it and has potentially been challenged in the recent past when Central incorporated.

So it's those living outside the city's fault that the retards in control cannot run the city with city resources? StG leaving doesn't affect a single parishwide tax, if anything helps increase parishwide revenue by increasing home values. The city uses funds from the StG area to put into it's general fund while providing ZERO resources to the area.

I have no idea, but I can guarantee they’ll hire dozens of lawyers to figure it out. And they’ll use our tax dollars to do it

They can try.
But if they use blatantly discredited arguments then the St George side can probably push for a summary judgment in their favor plus sanctions on the BR lawyers like Mary Olive Pierson who pushed discredited arguments as a suit.

So now its a technicality that 86,000 people don't live in a city? Gotcha.

Which was one of the main points on an anti-St. George radio ad I heard this morning.
Yes, I heard that also. I liked how the other argument was that taxes in Central and Zachary went up after incorporation. Oh, you mean the cities with two of the best school districts in the state? Oh, the horror.
I think I'm willing to accept that trade-off.
