Oh how Miss Lefty Stephanie Riegel loves her SJW. She has her man's back in the comments of the story.

quote:

Broderick was and is a high-profile community leader, effective and respected by many, myself included. He also has more than a few detractors. Whatever one may think of him, his departure from TBR is legitimate news and was covered as we would cover the departure of the leader of BRAC or BRAF or any other community organization. It has nothing to do with an "obsession" with TBR. I speak for myself, mind you, not some of the readers, who have posted vilifying comments on this page. If you're interested in how I have covered TBR and Broderick I invite you to read an indepth and thoughtful piece I wrote in 2018 on the organization, its history, effectiveness on Baton Rouge, where it was successful and perhaps where it was less so.

Did First Unite Methodist finally leave TBR?

If FUMC left, was there a news article?

They always use faith based groups as cover to make them seem apolitical. When, in actuality, they use those organizations to push an agenda within the church to advance their politics as well as create foot soldiers. Go look at the TBR church member list. Most are black churches which are notorious for preaching less about God and more about politics. TBR knows the pastor of a black church is basically the king/queen of the community that can convince the congregation that what they're doing is right but also what God wants.
Preach preacher!

Sad, but true.

Why would a man who was Chicago Community Organizer want to be in the state of LA? Also, why would anyone from the city of BR or the state want a Chicago Community Organizer AKA "crooked union loving socialist."

Obama roots stem from that same organization. It's almost as funny as when we hired a school board president who's claim to fame was being a part of the Detroit public education committee. This state is a disaster and is doing exactly opposite of what it needs to pull itself out of the doldrums. It's almost like there is a certain group of leaders who are purposely getting rich off of tax payer money by enslaving those that are too stupid to want to do anything about it. I wonder who that group is?

Glad someone gets it. Exxon finally standing up and saying they would not continue take the verbal and written abuse and lies wakened the media and some of the local politicians to create a long overdue backlash against these paid out of state rabble rousers.

She’s not wrong. TBR HAS had an effect on Baton Rouge. A negative one that has Exxon on the brink of taking all their expansion plans across the Sabine. That and a governor that only sees industry as a source to milk additional taxes out of.

The BR Biz Report definitely has a ton more left-leaners working for it. With JR and Riegel and the folks writing the copy for the Daily Report AM & PM updates. That's for certain.

Riegel is a feckless writer. She has a lot of access to folks and produces glorified Baton Rouge-based Teen Beat Puff Pieces with it. Her politics also routinely and consistently shines through.

Rolfe's Mom must've reigned him in after SWB took office. They are way more center-left these days. Regardless of Rolfe's Op-Ed every so often.

How many low and middle income salaries and jobs did they screw with ITEP move? Light a fire and leave, typical socialist. Wonder when people will realize that a lot of their collection plates at churches went to Chicago.

Already? Before its even it's own entity? It will be sometime before an ISD is established as well. I support St. George and hope it happens, I don't agree with the economic Rosey picture they paint. I can't see it succeeding without a property tax increase.

Aside from the George Soros’ of The world, where do these groups get funding. I’ll start Together Y’all if it’s highly profitable
