re: Senator defends push for parish-wide vote on St. George: 'It's merely democracy'

She uses the term "secession" because she believes it has racial undertones. A dog whistle, if you will.

If this shite happens and it is a parish-wide vote, count me as someone not in St. George that will be voting in favor.

Scumbag Mary Olive Pearson helping dumbass Democrats finish off East Baton Rouge parish.
If it’s only democracy, then why did these two counts draft a bill that only applies to a single parish???

I suppose there are those who want to think this bill is controversial, but it's merely forcing the minority to ask for permission before grabbing what the majority paid for

Um about that

Yes?

Just in case anyone is interested in her replies to your questions...here is her email address:

Despite the fact that the st. George area would have to first belong to the city to secede from it.

Correct. I guess the next thing we will here will be about how the racist whites are stealing 30 million from the people of the city of Baton Rouge.

Nevermind, when they say that, it will prove EXACTLY why St. George wants to leave, but they are too stupid to understand that.

State Sen. Yvonne Colomb said Friday backers of making unincorporated St. George a city are "secessionists" and allowing the entire parish to decide the issue is a fair approach.

"It's merely democracy," the Baton Rouge Democrat said in a statement.

"Without the protection offered by my bill it's like one member of a marriage deciding that they deserve all of the good furniture but want to leave behind the loans," the Baton Rouge Democrat said in a statement.

"That's won't work in divorce court and it shouldn't work for city secessionists," Colomb said.

"I suppose there are those who want to think this bill is controversial, but it's merely forcing the minority to ask for permission before grabbing what the majority paid for," Colomb said.

"If they get our permission it won't be grabbing," she said. "So where's the controversy."

I think this is the perfect time for this gif.

The fact that this sentence is there at all is ridiculous hahaha.

St. George paid for what St. George wants to incorporate and more.
