I don't get the point of this organization. Destroy jobs so everyone is dependent on govmt assistance?

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.


I can becsuse I believe the C-P bureaucracy is sucking millions out of SG to support all the administrators and paper pushers.

But if more tax revenues are required, we will get to vote on it with our neighbors. We will also know why the money is required and where it's going.

Now the ISD is another issue, and that needs to be looked at closely too. But right now taxes going to EBR schools is going to quality magnet schools or down the toilet.

The ISD part is what I'm talking about with a raise in property taxes to succeed. If St. George can get by with about 12K per student in funding then it should be able to produce a quality product. Zachary folks constantly brag on their school system and its around $12,500 per student and they had to raise property taxes to achieve that. But the issue is without a rapidly growing population it'll make it that much more difficult to build new schools and better teachers. Now with the 3 plant closures, Zachary very well may be scrambling.
