re: The gloves are off regarding St. George...

Staring lane was a more pressing issue apparently

You also left out Parkview Elementary in the SG area which is an A school. And Parkview is a true "neighborhood" school, not a magnet school.

The same for Shenadoah Elementary, an A rated neighborhood school.

Isn't it wild how neighborhood schools do so well... Maybe they should push for more of that. If only there was a movement, that on the direction of a legislator from the floor of the capital, wanted to do something about this.

wont st George destroy brmhs, the city's flagship school?

Yeah, yeah, I know....link? You obviously don't know how to use the search function on here so, here you go

Walk me through the $2K per year property tax increase form your speculative bullshite, you linked.

That's right, and you don't understand what it means either but you pretend you do.

No, no bro... I have the jist of the whole thing. You go talk to your buds and try to figure how to spin it.

My comment was sarcasm. It is good that they are widening surface streets.

Sure, I'd like a loop, too, but Baton Rouge can't build it alone, especially since most of the loop would be located outside of East Baton Rouge Parish.

Not having the foresight to do one 20 or more years ago is the problem...AP and WBRP have grown making it harder to get the land w/o major obstacles now.

You're wrong.

Every mayor since Tom Ed McHugh was first elected in the 1980's has attempted to bring together all of the stakeholders in the surrounding areas to agree on a loop.

Every time it always broke down to a NIMBY pissing contest. The problem has always been too many politicians wanting it to be their way or the (no pun intended) highway.

Another set of politicians setting up their own kingdom on the east side of EBR will only make it more difficult to accomplish.

You seriously cannot do the simple math of a $300,000 home's property tax if it increases at a ratio similar to the average of the other two EBR cities average spending and property tax increases which they have had since breaking away from the EBR school system? Did you graduate from Southeastern? In what?

Considering you can't read a budget, you shouldn't throw stones.

What your little data set doesn't show is what are the fire and law enforcement costs for the cities listed. The fact that st George fire and ebrso already cover the area and isn't considered in the budget is huge in this discussion. You forget the parish services we receive already. This is part if that budget you don't know how to read.

The people in this area already kick in to the parish and will continue to do so.


And keep Southeastern out of your whore mouth. My alma matar has nothing to do with this. M

I don't think it would. There is a waiting list every year of qualified students who don't get into BRMHS.

I know that because for 4 years I was a VIPS assigned to BRMHS in the admissions office. I created an Excel spreadsheet that allowed them to go from computing by hand the GPA's of the 1,000+ students applying to BRMHS every year to doing the computation on a PC simply by entering the grades of the student's academic classes and putting an X in a box if the class was an AP class which meant the grade earned an extra quality point in computing the GPA.

They went from taking a person almost two and a half weeks working full time to a person doing it in about two days thus reducing the admissions notification process timeline to a fraction of what it was before.

The only thing about BRMHS which would get destroyed if SG forms its own school district is the estimated 200-250 SG area high school students will be forced to leave BRMHS and attend Woodlawn HS. Other applicants on the waiting list would take their place.

That is why at every SG meeting the parents in SG of the BRMHS students are the ones being interviewed on TV opposing the breakaway.

LSURussian still going at it. Gotta give it to you, you been fighting the fight all week posting from sun up to sun down. On behalf of the SG movement, thanks for helping our cause. The more you guys oppose it, the better our chances are! Thanks!!
