My understanding is that there isn't a racial screening when homes are bought or sold within EBR parish.

Please explain how it is racially desperate?

She's testifying for herself?
Is she going to go back up to the chair and ask herself questions too?

the loss of tax revenue is going to disproportionately affect minorities living in the city of BR, thus, the process is illegal

It would be awesome if the entire parish had to vote and voted for St. George. So many people I am speaking to in EBR think this entire thing stinks. They would vote for it just to crap on these politicians.

All she has is simplistic understanding.
OMG. She's making a, "you didn't build that" argument.
Buahahahahaaa.

the problem with creating a movement around this issue is that it may have severe effects on other races

Wait so if people are against it in the proposed area can’t they vote against it?

So the bill has been deferred...what exactly does that mean and when is it deferred to?

I think that's it. The bill's deferred.

ETA: I think the technical meaning is that the committee hasn't voted one way or the other to send it back to the floor or kill it, but will revisit it in committee at a later time. Because it wasn't voluntarily deferred by the sponsor and a vote was held to involuntarily defer it against the sponsor's wishes, the people who voted to defer must vote to get it back on the schedule. Either way, if it ever makes it back on the schedule (and I think they may need a 2/3 majority, not a simple majority to reschedule), it comes in line behind all other instruments already in line to be heard by the committee.

I THINK.

If my understanding is right, the involuntary deferral effectively kills this bill because there's no way it'll be able to be heard by the committee and sent to the floor for debate and voting and conciliation between the chambers before the end of the legislative session or the vote to incorporate St. George happens.

I'm not a legislative scholar, though, just a dilettante, so if someone else understands better, give me a beatdown here.

It means it will never leave committee. It's not technically dead, but the votes won't change.
