Do you live in the proposed city limits? If not. No vote for you.

My house is about a half mile inside of the city limits. My kid is already in 6th grade so I probably wouldn't pull her out of private school anyway at this point. I hope it passes. We can always move if we want to.

That’s the proposed map from a few years ago

This is the new proposed map

Should swap these areas

That's the Amite River

Only guess I have is that they want to own the bank of the river to keep it maintained since everything downstream runs along their eastern border.

Looks like the new one does not include the Mall and the retail areas on Siegen. Does that have something to do with sales tax going to BR instead of SG? (forgive my ignorance on this topic)

SWB and her cronies have annexed as much as they can into BR in order to try and derail the St George effort

City property taxes won't be enacted unless voters of SG decide to raise them. The same thing with school taxes if an ISD comes to pass.

Now if the Library Board, BREC or the C-P Council wants to raise taxes and the parish AS A WHOLE votes to raise taxes; they would go up.

But city property taxes won't go up unless SG voters raise them. It's a scare tactic.

Incorrect

Together Baton Rouge planted several hundred people who signed and then asked to have their signatures removed.

Who knows. BR has raised taxes 18 times in the last 20 years I think.
