So basically BR is shite up the creek without that money if St. George incorporates.
He was contracted with by the BR Chamber of Commerce and the Baton Rouge Area Foundation last year to do an economic analysis of the BR area if SG incorporates.

Why would the mall want to annex? Does it really matter to them?

To make up for the loss of sales tax revenues, property tax collections will have to more than triple. Imagine paying $2,000/year now in property taxes and then be told your new property tax amount will be $6,000, especially if you don't have school age kids.

put more resources into saving the revenue than pleasing the people.
and they wonder why people of st. george don't want any part of the good ole boy system anymore.

Well MOL will most certainly tank and go Cortana.

Everyone wishing for a white utopia should just move to Iowa. Prejudice is a sign of stupidity. Keep it to yourself.

Where did this come from? Seems completely out of the blue. Who is wishing for a "white utopia"?
On a related note, I read a while back that Celtic is against St. George because (and I'm paraphrasing here), people know where Baton Rouge is, so when they are trying to attract these big movies, they say "we are located in Baton Rouge, the state capital of Louisiana" and it gives them credibility. Not the same if they say "we are located in St. George, Louisiana."
I could see the MOL and the BR general wanting to annex for similar reasons.

What is the total number on what you're quoting. You say this alot based on speculation, comparing bossier, central, and God knows where else. Is there a real number you're shooting at or simply employing shock and awe.

I've not heard one bit of information about EBR attempting to have a parish-wide fire department.
Well if you haven't heard one thing then you're not in the know as much as you think. Let's just say it's been in talks and in the counsel for years now. Will be entire Parish outside city. Not being a smart a** just saying it's in the works and very close to being a reality. Not a link cause not in news yet but just like I called the mall casino LSU coming into the city you can quote me on this.
PS Hi Russian.

K Russian I do see you're in the know but just as you I knew all Domino's would fall before they did. The Parish fire dept is in the works. Again not being a dick mis read your comment sorry.

The metro council and Better Together only want to annex the money makers. They don't care about the citizens of the unincorporated areas. At a forum I asked Better Together if they would be in favor of annexing all of the unincorporated area into the city of Baton Rouge. Their answer was "I don't know"; "we haven't thought about that before". That was their way of dodging the question. The real answer is no because the city of Baton Rouge doesn't want to provide fire/police protection to the unincorporated areas.

You do realize it's good olé boys in St George too right? Those good olé boys want the money to stay in their own pockets. It's the system we live in today and for you to think that St George is somehow different is just wrong.

He has nothing to support that....but anyone who questions him is a liar. Take everything he says with a grain of salt.

Continuing to live in an area where crime is out of control compared to cities of comparable size and little is being done to address it is just as stupid.
