Mayor Broome files suit against St. George Organizers

Joining Broome—who is filing suit in her capacity as mayor-president but has said city-parish tax dollars will not be used to pay for the litigation—are veteran criminal defense attorney Lewis Unglesby, who lives in St. George, and civic activist M.E. Cormier, who has led efforts to fight the incorporation and does not live in St. George.
quote:
Mayor Sharon Weston Broome filed suit this morning against two organizers of the city of St. George incorporation effort, Norman Browning and Chris Rials, challenging their ability to provide services to voters in the proposed new city and claiming incorporation will “have a substantial adverse impact on the city of Baton Rouge as well as the remaining unincorporated areas of the parish.”
The suit is based on a couple of provisions in a state law, La. Rev. 33:1, that lays out the grounds for contesting an incorporation. Among those are the proposed city’s ability to deliver “public services within a reasonable period of time” … and the potential adverse impact incorporation would have on another municipality, which, in this case, is the city of Baton Rouge.

Was she signing these papers as the shooting at the bank in Baton Rouge was occurring? If so, that's rich as hell.

Like how I couldn't send my kids to public school in Baton Rouge?

Suing her own citizens. What a joke? Let’s kick her arse out and recall her.
I would take up residence in Baton Rouge just so I could vote to recall her arse.

This whole ordeal just reminds me of the same ridiculous tactics after Trump won his election.
All about the process until the process doesn’t work for them so now lawsuits abound.

You could, but you're probably one of those uppity citizens that expects a good education for your kids.

I want to know the cause of action here. Or is this like the Trump thing? We don’t like it therefore we want something done just because.

The discovery related to this is going to be embarrassing. In fact, it should result in SWB getting some jail time for misuse of funds.

An unincorporated area wanting to incorporate and the narrative from the opposition being they are breaking away irritates me.
I get that politicians lie but goddamn.

St. George definitely colluded with Prairieville and Denham to win support.

The national Democrats have set the playbook. You see it in Britain right now too in regard to Brexit.
If you don't like the results of an election you have the courts give you what you want.

How long has it taken to figure out garbage pick-up in Baton Rouge? Garbage. Pick-up. Let's file a suit against her for the exact same thing. Nothing but a hypocrite.

Allocated to Morvant. Good draw for St. G.

I find it hilarious that M.E. Cormier's own neighbors hate her arse. She is the classic fat bitch who just likes to start shite because she has such a miserable life and needs to feel important.
