re: St. George: Donations for Legal Fees

Dude they’re being sued for following the process they were told to follow if they wanted to incorporate. It was put to a vote. It passed. And now that it’s real, the city is desperate to keep the money and now wants to sue the organizers? This is how you know Baton Rouge government is full of crooks.

Even if the organizers can personally afford the legal fees, I don’t think they should go this alone. They are merely following due process for the betterment of a community and now being sued for it. This should really get people in St George fired up to a new level. Broome is literally fighting against the constituents that live in south Baton Rouge like they’re not a part of who she took office to serve. It’s crazy.

And please reply to this post with which part you disagree with if you downvote. I’m genuinely curious as to what is controversial.

Are they really asking for help paying the legal fees after years of promising they’d be ok financially?

There is no st George general fund. These are individuals that helped organize the process to get the vote and subsequent incorporation..

I would love to have a concerned parent have a public discussion with Broome about the big picture to all of this and ask her what efforts she has put towards alleviating the concerns of parents like the one she would face. Schools being the main topic of course, and how much of the parish money comes from the area of st George and then what percentage of it is spent back in the st George community.

The leaders who created St George and made all the promises can handle the legal fees. They wanted the headache, they can deal with it. I wish them good luck, but they got what they wanted, now it’s time for them to start working.

Anyone notice the problem with this statement?

This mindset of "follow the system, put it to a vote and if the vote doesn't go your way clogg up the courts with law suits and red tape to try to get your way." This progressive liberal strategy is now an accepted practice. Never mind the collections, it should never be necessary because these suits are frivolous and meant to financial cripple the SG effort because those that oppose it lost a vote. much like Impeachment.. SG needs to counter sue to have the care thrown out and all legal fees paid by the individuals representing BR and not tax payer funds.

smh you people are past brainwashed, you're brain dead.

SG needs to counter sue

On what grounds, specifically?

If BR’s suit is a sham, surely SG will file an exception(s) and Judge Morvant will toss it, right?

Seems sketchy as hell for individuals to ask for donations through the city website.

Or maybe I'm missing something.

Can’t tell if your joking or seriously stupid.

SG won an election, but it has no revenue stream yet. The governor vetoed the legislation to fund SG if it had won the election.

The website is private

Here’s a novel idea


Go down the list of the people who signed the petition, and ask them for donations


Nobody outside of BR/StG gives a shite
