I’ll counter… how is it legal for the current city of BR to control how tax dollars are allocated from unincorporated areas yet they are also trying to legally block the incorporation of those areas due to “disparate impact”?
The action is effectively declaring the unincorporated parts of the parish as tax colonies of BR, unable to self govern because BR would suffer if that happened.
I agree.
I’m just pointing out that SG will not change the racial makeup of elective offices in the parish. I don’t see how it will change the racial makeup of any of the taxing districts.

Yes, but in entirely different circumstances. EBR didn’t have a consolidated form of government when Zachary became s as city.

The anti-St. George crowd is also ironically the crowd that thinks the electoral college should be done away with and just rely on popular vote.

BR was a good town and schools were good, and housing reasonable. Goodwood, Tara, Broadmoor, Bocage and behind it off Old Hammond Hwy., Sherwood Forest. Greenwell Springs. And more. Things to do. It is criminal what they have allowed BR to turn into.

As if republicans wouldn't have cried if their candidate won the popular vote, but lost the electoral college vote. They are still crying about losing the electoral college and popular vote three years after an election.

Thus isn’t a national issue. I wish people would quit trying to make it one.
It’s all local. We have city hall trying to keep power by controlling the tax dollars from the suburbs to enrich themselves.

The areas that were part of the petition that have been gobbled up by BR should be returned.

I thought the St George thing was settled years ago and it split off into its own community?

Those racist bastards! Lol

I get loss of tax base,

I didn’t know that Zachary was ever BR. Good to know!

2023-C-01108 MAYOR-PRESIDENT SHARON WESTON BROOME, LEWIS O. UNGLESBY, LAMONT COLE, AND M. E. CORMIER VS. CHRIS RIALS AND NORMAN BROWNING, ORGANIZERS OF THE PETITION TO INCORPORATE ST. GEORGE (Parish of East Baton Rouge)
I didn't remember Lewis Unglesby joining the suit. What a piece of shite. I wouldn't use that assclown as an attorney if there was literally no other law firms on earth.
Getting back to it though, the city had every opportunity to fight against this fricking thing right up until the vote but they just waited. It went to the polls and it passed. I think that's what pisses me off the most about all of it. They let it get to the ballot, let people vote on it, let it literally pass, barely even campaigning against it - then shite all over it in court and killed it.
The will of the people of South Baton Rouge was unfairly silenced.
I don't expect it to pass in the LSC either because the establishment government's roots are clearly protected in this backwards arse joke of a state.. I have to live here until my youngest graduates high school but I've already forbidden any of them to go to college here in Louisiana.
My family's lifelong Louisiana roots, all the way from the 1800's, will end with my generation on the day I finally pack my last bag here. If it takes a court killing the undeniable will of the people to make that happen, so be it.
I voted... apparently for nothing. So now I'll vote with my feet.

Was St. George Baton Rouge, or am I missing something?

Taxing a tax base from an incompetent city government is racist.

What's your take on it?
The StG petition team had bad lawyers and "just did what Central did" instead of following the statutes to the letter re: what information was required to be in the actual petition for incorporation.
Sucks, but they're going to have to redo it.

St. George is an unincorporated area of EBR Parish. It isn’t a part of BR; nor has this area ever been a part of the city of Baton Rouge.

I am 100% aware of this, that's why I was questioning the person who I initially replied to. Was I not clear in my last clarification post?
