Since we're "breaking away", all you Livingston and Ascension folks can start telling us how great we are and maybe we'll join you. Gifts would help too.
ETA: Iberville can get in on this too.

StG has been paying more than its fair share for years.
It's essentially a status quo anyway.
Why they thought it would be a silver bullet is beyond me.
Haven't they realized by now that the StG people know WAY more about the financials than these "Senators"?
When your entire argument is based in lies, you kind of don't have anything better to fall back on. They were grasping at straws. I loved watching SWB's body language in the hearing. She needs a drink.

i think the fact that StG is more educated and has been very involved in this process, they're not going to fall for that
The StG people typically aren't the ones that fall for these types of tactics.

This is false. Just like Central, the idea is to continue using Parish services where feasible (trash/sewer/water/etc). This also means they will continue paying their fair share for those services. You're going to find that the most adversely affected services are typically the City's bloat.

so how long until they move for a St George school district?
We all know EBR will try to vote it down, but how many people in Lake Chuck, Shreveport, Ruston, Alex, Nola, Ascension, Livingston, etc do you really think will deny families the opportunity to get their own school district?
My thoughts... not many. That's why Zachary and Central passed.
If StG gets a city, they'll get an ISD.

your problem will be EBR parish, not the state

And Baton Rouge has now announced it will file a lawsuit to force the entire parish to be able to vote on St George. Should be just about the quickest lawsuit around. They have no legal basis to claim that the entire parish should vote on incorporation. I can’t wait to hear their theory.
Posted on 5/9/19 at 2:11 pm to SlowFlowPro
School district application is more complicated that incorporating if I remember correctly. The incorporation is step 1 to getting to a school district though.

About the only way it doesn’t get tossed with prejudice immediately is if a judge of the quality of Trudy White gets the case.

on what fricking grounds?
i don't even think the law at issue would pass constitutional muster. now BR is suing for StG for following the ACTUAL law and is arguing that a likely unconstitutional law (that doesn't actually exist) should be the legal guiding point?

Would the 18th JDC handle this or would it need to go to federal court?
Posted on 5/9/19 at 2:13 pm to Mahootney
It's so asanine that the whole state has to vote on a new school district in one parish. Another reason to blow up the state constitution.

19th JDC unless they file a federal civil rights suit, which i imagine will be done. then that on would be in federal court

And in the process wasting more taxpayer money and proving the incompetency people are trying to separate from.

it is cute how the DEMs were arguing they were trying to stop wasteful government expansion

I really don't have a dog in the fight, I hope StG does separate though.
Wait, what would St. George be "separating" from exactly?
It's not separating from Baton Rouge, because it isn't part of Baton Rouge...it's just a section of unincorporated land that the city-parish government takes taxes from and then redistributes to the rest of the parish...

MOP is connected, so hopefully the StG stakeholders have hired competent representation to counter her filings.
We are pulling for you StG guys down here in the 504.
