IIRC, St George passed by a wider margin than SWB did in beating Bodi White.

So, SWB doesn’t have a mandate because she nearly lost to a shite candidate?

56k+ Registered voters and 17000 is still scary.
The No vote was 14500 (aprox).
Also the map of yes and no speaks volumes.

I’m just trying to get legit facts and answers. I get you may think I’m stupid, fine. I want to know how 17,000 people came to the conclusion that they can provide a better life for the area. That’s all. Please inform me on what is going to be so great to live in StG?

Also who is paying for StG legal team??

There has never been any benefit talk, only poopoo current BR

Not being considered as a part of the hell that Baton Rouge has become is a big plus.

Legal fees funded by donations, unlike Broome.

The citizens that voted for the incorporation.

Who is paying for SWB’s lawsuit and what do they have to gain from this?

SWB’s lawsuit shows that the parish form of government favors the City of BR over unincorporated areas. If the metro council form of government is one then we should just have one parish law enforcement agency, one fire department, one constable, and one court system.

This form of government needs to be abolished and BR needs it own government and the parish needs it own government. This way you protect parish interests along with finances and the City of BR does the same thing.

That’s how voting works. The people who don’t care usually stay home.

The majority of people who voted, voted for StG... everybody had a chance to have their say and let majority win... StG won... that is elections, and that is life...

Now, if my house catches on fire, BRFD isn't the ones coming to put it out... so, I'm tired of paying them for a service I dont receive...

if my house is broken into, BRPD doesn't come investigate... so I am paying for a service I won't receive...

BR refused to incorporate my area, but still wants my money... I said no, with a smile, because I would rather my money stay at home than go to some city whose services are not granted to me

Is this simplified enough for you?

Meant that the ST George supporters are trying in part, to make the schools better for those in St George, even if their own kids don't benefit.

Throw good money after bad because lazy idiots won't put in the work? What are you doing to make the schools better other than demanding more money from others?

And more than half said "Fug dem! We comin'!"

The opposition to St. George by the government entities was mainly based in people taking mental possession of other people's money.
