You want to heal BR? Start giving the southern portion of the parish their fair share of the tax revenue.

I can help simplify this to one sentence.

We, the hopeful St. George residents, are tired of your BS and stupid investments, of our tax monies, that are bound to fail.

Good move by JBE. It's time to heal BR not divide it.


Just this morning you said you didn't understand the issues, now you prove that you still do not.

It’s a Louisiana gubernatorial election. Do you think LA voters are moderates?? To me it’s either Red or Blue in Louisiana elections.

Jesus . That’s some bad analysis. Lol.

He doesn’t become Governor without Republicans crossing the aisle . He already has every single Democratic vote. Including those who vote 3/4 times. And there are tons of people ( like me) who did not support St George last time but support it now . And by being corrupt and holding up the Democratic process he will lose anybody who values good government and the premise that things should be decided at the ballot box. Including people like me who have their kids in the public schools.

By law, the Governor must review the petition, not the letter of certification,



What am I missing here?? It sounds as though he hasn’t done what is required under the law (review the petition). That’s on him.

What a terrible day for Louisianians.


Politicians and civic leaders challenge regular citizens to get involved. They say it's our fault things don't get done. Citizen apathy is their excuse for such poor govt.

Now we see a grassroots effort by citizens in our parish to get more conttol of government and public schools, but we see city hall and politicians fighting them every step of the way.

They don't want us to vote. They will do anything to stop the vote. A vote that is a basic right given to us by the state.

I’ll be honest, after meeting him a few times through my old work while he was campaigning and considering who was running against him, I voted JBE.

If It was down to Vitter and JBE again, I’d vote JBE again.

Good to have you on my side.
If it's not obvious now to folks that these people do not respect us and all they want is our tax dollars, I don't know what to say.

Over 15,000 voters in SG are getting the finger.

This was my confusion today. It's interesting to read how one person would vote For and a neighbor vote Against.

AG Op No 08-0095B

quote:

The Governor's Office has historically requested that the Attorney General review a Petition for Incorporation to insure that the requirements of La. R.S. 33:1 (A) are met. This review process simply involves comparing the proposed petition to the provisions set forth in the statute.


quote:

There is no provision in the law which allows opponents to challenge compliance with La. R.S. 33:1 while it is being reviewed at the governor's office.


quote:

As stated in Allied Signal, supra, the proper remedy to challenge the validity of a Petition for Incorporation would be to seek a declaratory judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither the governor's office nor the attorney general's office is the proper forum in which to object to a petition for incorporation

Its confusing to you that two different people may have different opinions on how they want their tax dollars spent? Isnt that pretty much the reason we have elections in the first place?
