Crap like this - withdrawing from a city, withdrawing from a country - should always be decided on 2/3 vote, if not 3/4. You can't let some temporary numerical majority determine something like this.


Feel free to take that up with the legislature, pal.

But what is confusing is what is Pierson’s role? It has been reported she doesn’t represent the parish, or even the mayor’s office, but Broome personally. Why then was she allowed at a meeting between the SG committee and the mayor regarding plans for SG? Why did she speak at length for the mayor during and after this meeting?


That’s the part I was talking about since meeting was about services she is now filing a lawsuit about. I was thinking she should have to act in good faith with service negotiations as parish president and be more even handed.

The other part was because I have just seen where law mentions municipalities effected. She has a little bit of conflict of interest being on either side unlike a mayor only of a city. Even allowed I thought for political purposes she would pass to another official even for just appearances (don’t think BR has a city manager but can’t remember).

quote:

Broome should be able to act in what she thinks is in the parish’s best interest. The law is clear in that as a parish official she has a right to sue. I think that isn’t in dispute.


Which part of law states the parish president can file outside of meeting one of the below requirements:
quote:

A. Any of the following persons or governmental entities may file a petition contesting the incorporation:
(1) Any elector residing in the area proposed for incorporation.
(2) Any person owning land in such area.
(3) Any municipality which might be adversely affected or an elected official of the governing authority of such a municipality.


Does state law end up somewhere defining an area governed by a city-parish govt as a municipality including unincorporated area when dealing with merging city-parish govts for legal procedures (kind of like constitution ends up treating or basically defining the to date approved municipal school districts as parish school districts for taxing authority, state funding, & other purposes)?

Exactly what is StG withdrawing from? Last I checked they were still going to be in East Baton Rouge Parish, the only affiliation they have to anything.

But who is withdrawing from an existing city or country (or parish) in regards to StG forming?

Guess they were a little too big for their britches, huh? What an embarrassment. And dripping with irony that probably many are incapable of appreciating.

How so? Because they have to pay out of pocket for a legal defense because the city hasn't begun yet and morons are challenging a legal incorporation?

If you ever wonder why fake news is a thing, just look at this thread and see how many people have a fundamental misunderstanding of the basics of this incorporation.

It's effective. And, some people are just very prone to being a sheep...totally unable to decipher truth from lies.

Some people, even when you show them the facts over and over, still are being intentionally ignorant because "their side" didn't win.

Definitely true.

But, there are a LOT of sheep. And, you see it in this thread. Low IQ.

I went to page. It’s mixed unsecure with a secure section to input payment info. I have had an issue with this in past. Any idea if that section is truly secure? My phone’s browser is saying it’s not, but it sometimes bases this on main page being http instead of https and doesn’t work well with added secure sections like this. I will have to try later on desktop.

Broome does not fit 1, perhaps she fits 2 but I doubt if. 3??? Is she a public official of a municipality? Is she mayor of BR?

I think she is, but I don’t know that.

I love democracy. Seriously. I am all for the fact people being able to start their own governing body if they are not happy with the local government they are under.. But you have to plan before you up and decide to do shite.

One of the first things that should be done is to get funding because you don't want to get it passed then have it all fall apart because of the lack of funding..

How do you suggest a city get funded before it’s a city?

There are ways to ease into a city as Central did. As other La. cities have. The law provides for this.

But nothing can happen until the election is certified and a mayor and council are appointed by the Governor.

And right now I doubt anything will progress as long as the mayor’s lawsuit is going on.
