Certainly

What could we do about it either way?

If SG becomes a city, she will have less control.

Weird how it’s racist to incorporate your community into a new city, but it’s okay to split a government into two.

I've been saying this all along, it's about political power.

The race card is played by a certain faction because it works. It gets them a bigger voice, a poker chip, and leverage.

They want to keep themselves and their friends in control.

Didn’t North Baton Rouge set up their own taxing district as well? I thought that was against the whole “Together Baton Rouge”?

Yes they did.

DDD has one
CATS has one
NBR has one
BR can separate

SGeans are racists

Break up the city/parish form of governments and a Republican won’t control Baton Rouge again.


A Republican will already never control BR again, dummy.

But the parish...?

If this happens, BR's conversion into a complete inner city will be complete.

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?


My guess is that if SG happens, it was likely to be followed by this very same development - splitting Mayor from Parish President. If the NAACP want to help out with that, I welcome their involvement.

BTW, is anybody else desperately waiting for Better Together to comment on this? How do they spin it? It's like the ultimate in shitty things to happen to their movement.

I guess so. I want to know which churches in particular are supporting this breakaway.

By calling everyone racist for not wanting black people to claim their own city when those same people were ok with St. George.
