I have not read this thread other than the responses on this page. This is exactly why StG needs to happen. We won’t have to deal with these dumbasses once we get our own city.

Why are you equating obtaining capital after an incorporation is certified to obtaining capital when it is being challenged?

Who was going to meet with her? Who had the authority to negotiate that on behalf of StG? Shouldn’t you need a government to do that on behalf of the taxpayers of StG?
Which brings us back to how were you going to fund that government?
You are retarded.

There is no St. George yet. There is no tax base.
So, how did YOU think they were going to pay for it?
Ask for donations from the people who signed petition or voted for it, or special assessments to start up the government, then issue bonds until tax revenues can fund it
And asking for donations to fund startup is different than asking for donations to fund a legal defense

Lest we forget that St. George will be a small government utopia with no taxes populated with the brightest citizens Louisiana has to offer.

I don’t think you know how this process should go. If you did, it should make you really pissed off that the elected mayor is fighting her constituents with their own tax money on a process that was set up by the government. I just don’t understand why this doesn’t upset everyone on either side of the debate.

Where was the money going to come from to certify the incorporation? There seems to be a lot of “we’re breaking away from you, and we know you don’t like it, but we need you to help us get started” going on

Literally no one has ever said that. We just won’t have to deal with SWB, Chuana Banks, Denise Marcel, Gravy, and the shite show that is the Baton Rouge political mechanism.
And before you pull that well overplayed race card, I’m just listing the dumbest people in political office I can think of.

JBE vetoed funding even if Voters decided to leave?
The bill would have passed easily and been signed had White and Claitor not tried to pull a fast one at the last minute.
I'm about as neutral as can be on the entire St. George thing, even as a BR resident. If anything, I'm actually in favor of the idea of St. George - that a group of concerned citizens in an unincorporated area can form their own city. I totally get it and totally understand people wanting to afford better public education opportunities for their children. But since day 1 the whole effort from top to bottom has been rife with comically poor planning, poor, inconsistent messaging and, often times, pure bullshite.

You are very misinformed.

I think it’s messed up that she can do it legally (which she 100% can), but I also think this was an inevitability that should have been planned for
It’s also a major issue to have a mayor-President.

StG is not breaking away from BR? Interesting

That donation link has been up since before the vote.

How can you break away from something you were never a part of?

I mean, they aren't. It's an unincorporated area of EBR Parish attempting to form its own municipality.

Why is there so much overlap in BR and StG maps then?

They aren't. They never were Baton Rouge. Get educated before you try to spread your bullshite.

They cannot breakaway from something they were never a part of. The proposed SG area is unincorporated. What rock have you been hiding under for the past 5 years?

There isn’t. It cannot legally be

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.
Could you literally imagine creating your own city? Just think of how incredible of an undertaking it was to do all this... to raise money, get the signatures, then have to run a campaign against sudden unexpected H&E and Lipsey money and STILL WIN?! I remember bitching on this board during the run up to the vote that StG wasn't spending enough money to publicly turn the tide. But then they did.
They had to probably allocate a lot more of the funds they'd planned to defend themselves in this lawsuit to media before the vote.
It's completely understandable after the media blitz they had to step on the gas. Now they need help.
It's hard to stand up against this machine. I just donated and I'd do it again.
Geaux St. George. Rise up.
