And he couldn't beat SWB.
Which tells me...
1) He's terrible
2) How was he the best that the Republicans in BR could come up with?

This is without a St. George on the books.
The R's will put up a dogshit candidate like they always do.

how long until the white parts of BR tries to un-incorporate and become part of St. George.
Baton Rouge cannot annex unincorporated areas without the approval of the areas it wants to annex. I think it would work the same way if an area wants to leave: both the area and the city would have to agree to part ways. What's currently in BR would remain BR. Moving would be the only viable thing to do if you no longer want to live in the City of BR.
Hell, I don't even know if becoming unincorporated again is even a possibility.

It won't matter in another 20 years anyway. Productive citizens are being outbred 4-1 by welfare queens. This isn't unique to BR though.

Compared to Sharon Weston Broome, Bodi White is Winston Churchill. So that “Bodi sucked” argument is an utter bullshite reason for sending EBR into the shitter.

I feel like the current system benefits the CP. I figured the rest of the Parish wanted to get away from BR.
What am I missing here?
i agree When the racist NAACP wants to get involved, then they wont be happy until its 100% black. They can have BR and give us St George. Its a WIN - WIN for everybody .

It won’t be a win when the businesses in The city of BR start bailing.

No wall needed...just add a bunch of toll roads for St George!
Much more effective!

How would that work exactly? Right now about $50 million moves from the unincorporated area to the city budget due to the consolidation. If those split, that gravy train stops.

This is so comical.
It’s the easiest way to allow St George to occur.
But what i love more than anything, is that the same folks that claim it’s racist for St George to happen actually want a majority, if not all, black council.

Just stop it. Bodi didn't have the fight in him to win. He was too kind-hearted to do what it took to bury Broome, and he threw St. George under the bus when asked if he supported it. He just wasn't the right candidate.

It’s kinda funny all of this is going down with SWB as mayor even bough she dropped that ad saying it was Bodi who would divide us. Now SWB is about as hard to find as Kip during a heavy rain event.

Funny how Black Leaders want segregation now, isn’t it?

You realize I’m agreeing with you?

Do people not realize that St George would still have Broome as their parish president and she would do everything in her power to screw them over as much as possible?

It is almost like they do not think the current model of City Parish Government works and they are willing to petition their government for the opportunity to vote on a measure that would allow them to govern themselves.

No, if the consolidated government splits there would be two separate offices - Mayor of BR and President of EBR.

Not wanting to read all this- but how long before we officially start referring to certain parts of the city as "wards"?
