Maybe she is saying they are successful compared to other BR schools.

If St George controls the zoning, they can prevent slums from being built.
Mass purchases of existing houses for conversion to Section 8? Not as much.

You obviously have not seen how the city of BR is annexing property

As far as I know, they haven’t been threatened with a state takeover yet.
That puts them ahead of Istrouma, Capitol, and the old Lee, all of which were shuttered and reopened as a dodge to avoid that IIRC.

So I think it’s silly that your neighbor across the street from you in an urban space would live in a different city. I’m some situations, it happens because two cities grew into one another. Doing it on purpose seems absurd.
Here is what you are missing:
Neighbor A lives in BR they enjoy all city services.
Neighbor B lives on the same street but one block from BR City Limits. Neighbor B does not enjoy city services.
Neighbor A and neighbor B both pay the same sales tax which goes into the general fund. The general fund is used to pay for city services and parish services.
We hear that if neighbor B joins another city and their sales tax no longer goes into the general fund then the city will face a crisis, a shortage of funds. Neighbor A tells neighbor B they are breaking away and making a big mistake.
Neighbor B says how is that? Right now I don't see much return on my "investment" and all I see is you and your friends protesting.
That's what is happening now. Neighbor B (SG) wants to get something back, more than they are seeing now, and they want to be able to control it and not let others do what they want with their tax money.
Then down the road there is schools.

Instead of trying to scare people about higher taxes, the anti-St George crowd should be presenting a plan about how things can/will be improved, Whats going to be different? Whats the new plan going forward with BR schools? or is there even a plan?
You would think something like that would be a big help to their cause but there's no intention on changing or improving the current system. There is no plan to "come together" if St. George fails

Broome. Casey Walker, who had a "OneBTR" sign
Anyone thinking a vote no makes “OneBTR” is pretty ignorant or thinks neighbors are ignorant. I really can’t believe how hard BR & mayor are going to push a lie (she is acting as mayor not parish president). I am concerned some people will end up voting to keep status quo with this big push by BR and advocate. It’s sad as a St George is best for parish and really will also force BR to change eventually.
Just something weird about a Mayor of one incorporated city campaigning so hard to stop an unincorporated area in parish she is President over from incorporating like area she is Mayor over. I hope St George supporters don’t just laugh off this and actually are pushing to finish strong and not just posting online. They need face time with people who haven’t voted. I don’t think this push continuing the OneBTR lies would be happening if they didn’t think they had chance to sway people who have not voted and make a difference.

They would do it no matter what IMHO.
They are praying for a miracle that St George loses at the ballot box and, failing that, the chance of killing it in the courts.
They aren’t just going to concede a loss because of what it means to them if it goes through.

Make no mistake, Broome has launched her reelection campaign. She's using SG as a platform to cater to her base, and further divide the community at large.
Unfortunately many of our so-called civic leaders are in bed with her, and are helping her in her efforts. That's what is really happening here.
SG, Central, Zachary and the rest of suburbia are "bad". We're divisive, we are racists. We are tearing the community apart. That's what she's really pushing. She has no plan for inclusion. Developers I talk to tell me if it's not about NBR, she doesn't want to listen.
The stunt yesterday was all for a photo op. That's it.How many doors did she knock on anyway?
With all the problems BR has (police, garbage, drainage) her focus is on SG not on her real job.
Three years in office. Is EBR better off today than when Kip left? I don't think so.

The lawsuits are going to be coming and it is going to be a shitshow. At this point I think it is safe to say it is going to pass pretty handily but to think it is free and clear is underestimating how low they will go to impede it moving forward.

I think Broome hopes SG passes, and her people can see. She needs this issue to win reelection. Watch how this thing develops.

If she is hoping it passes, she is dumber than I thought.
It may get NBR to turn out for her and help re-elect her, but losing St George’s portion of money from the general fund will mean tough decisions that will be a major problem for her.

Winning the next election, keeping power, are what these people do.
If they were all about what is best for the parish do you think things would be like this?
For instance how did she handle the COA debacle? She didn't get involved. She let her Police Chief run his mouth and put the parish in jeopardy of a bigger settlement and did nothing.
Her agenda is not what you or I think it should be. It's clear what she wants to do and its not about providing services, it's about taking care of her people.
Watch this diversity thing she's pushing for instance.

She's going to blame SG, and raise taxes for the city folk. It's as plain as the nose on my face.

Someone may need to refresh my memory, but was there this type of opposition when Central attempted to do the same thing that St George is attempting?
