re: St. George School System

Now opponents are flipping the script after SG organizers smartly drew the lines to include those who want more control over their tax dollars and out of the EBRSS. Now they are playing the race card because intellectually that’s all they have.

First I’ve never once said I was an opponent. I posted facts about the annexations and drawing of the lines. Then was called names, a racist and because I moved somewhere else with a 60% white population I’m a white supremacist. Not one person in this thread has defended their points with facts. Just name calling. Because they haven’t any. I don’t care what happens with St George I just know more than most people of the situation and shared what o knew. People didn’t like it but they couldn’t say I was wrong so the race card and name calling is all they have left. Oh and the GRAMMAR police also got involved

I think the people that know a lot more than you do are smart enough not to show their cards.

It will go through the courts and probably all the way to the Supreme Court.

It will also become a city in time.

This will also open the door to split the city parish form of government up which is what the establishment is really will be afraid of.

Finally a person that wants to talk and not insult. Yes all your statements I can agree with. Of course money is involved on both sides because no matter which side tells you differently is all about MONEY. But H&E was needed along with womans to make the jump across Airline to open the door for Industrial Plex and Seigen corridors.
As far as the way money is spent that’s a literal endless debate. Could the system be better YES is it worth splitting a parish in two?? That is a debatable topic. Not saying you personally are, but for STG side to say BR is the evil one for worrying about the money as others have stated is laughable. St George is all about the money as well.
Thanks for the civil debate and we agree more than disagree and neither of us called each other names or threw the race card out. It’s nice when adults talk.

It was a figure of speech. But so glad you finally found something I’ve said that you could debate without insults. Good job doesn’t that feel good??

City parish form of government will be the next topic. It probably will come up to vote to split this failed system up. Would be a bad thing for the establishment, employees which a lot live outside the parish, while the people who live here probably will see better services.

The entire system is broken, and government services are handled in different ways causing inefficiencies in areas while itgers flourish.
Look at law enforcement, drainage, and trash pick up; they are neglected. Look at parks and recreation, libraries, council on aging, they are well funded and run surpluses.

These special tax agencies are isolated from the public; who do not vote on those that run these agencies. They seem to operate as they see fit and raise tax rates whether they need money or not.

There’s no mechanism to balance things. BRPD is in crisis and the Library people are constructing extravagant facilities. The parish is flooding, but BREC has millions of dollars in surplus. EBR can’t stripe streets or fix road signs, but COA can build a brand new facility.

You are exactly right.

I don’t do rumors. I only do facts. The bull shite your spewing are not facts at all.

You can call me any name you’d like but it’s not going to change what’s going to happen and what I know. The thing is, I’m not some little peon reading the news and basing decisions and thoughts off of that. You’re a hater. You know what happens to haters? It consumes them. Enjoy your miserable life. Be jealous of the new city and enjoy living your racist life.

First, the clerk of court screwed the first petition and I wouldn’t be surprised if he got paid off in some capacity. Fact#1 They had enough signatures for area to hold a vote but were denied.

Fact#2 after the first petition was denied, people in certain areas asked not to be included. These areas were removed because of this and the lack of support for the city.

Fact#3 second petition was successful in the amount of signatures needed to hold a vote and the vote was for a new city.

Fact#4 the racist mayor didn’t like that she was losing power to a large white population and filed a lawsuit with another racist council member to try to void the vote. She literally is trying to overturn the will of the people by filing a lawsuit.

Fact#5- EBR Parish is continuing to spend money that should be set aside for the City of St. George.

My opinion- Once the City is confirmed, I would not give the Parish one penny for any legacy costs. It will be double taxation on the people in the Parish that have already paid into that system. The city of BR is not owed anything from the City of St. George.
