re: Can St. George duplicate what is going on in Central?

I'm tired of explaining this to you

No, you're not. You're tired of being caught lying.

ETA: You're a liar. It's all there.

And here is where you pulled out your genius legacy cost calculator....where you just divided the budgets!

I'm starting to think you're borderline illiterate when it comes to numbers. There is nothing in the quotes you posted where I've divided any budget by any percent.

Do you know the difference between dividing and multiplying? Do you know they are not the same thing?

And again, you have not posted anything showing where I claimed the legacy costs are $800 million. Are you going to continue to hide from that lie? What about your lie about 60% of the total taxes collected in EBR come out of St George?

All you are doing is making it appear that SG is populated with liars.

Leave Russian alone.

He is, by far, the most argumentative poster on this site.

But, he is a self-proclaimed fiscal and business guru, so he's got that going for him....which must be nice.

Obsess much?

I've posted links showing your previous incorrect claims. You've done nothing but continue to lie without providing a single link to support your lies.

---

Yet when I ask you to support your claim that Central city owes millions in legacy claims you call ne lazy and refuse to do so.

Unless I see it in writing I can't believe anything you post because your numbers don't always add up.

:ignore:

Well said.

You have a system for the City of BR and a system in place for the unincorporated areas.

It will still have to be called the EBR school system. There are still unincorporated areas in this parish that will not be incorporated anytime soon, that were always part of the EBR system.

Baton Rouge is very much like a bunch of traveling gypsies, building temporary tent cities, never building structures that resemble people intent on staying very long, absurd zoning, very little code requirement but quick money, and always on the move to the new shiny areas being built when the tents aren't looking as new as they were when they were built, leaving in their wake the old temporary tent areas and all their trash to be taken over by human trash.

Now, when the old tent city they left is biting them in the arse, they want to separate themselves from the old tent city they created no less, rename it, and take their tax dollars to fund the new tent city, assuming I suppose that there will be an imaginary wall to keep them all safe from the undesirables and undesirable areas they left.

In Baton Rouge they call it growth, even in spite of the fact growth numbers are stagnant. Everywhere else they call it relocation, or erecting refugee camps.


Never once do these people consider perhaps investing in all of Baton Rouge as if they are intent on making it a permanent place to live, recognizing and changing direction from that mentality which has proven time and time again to be a huge failure, and give a shite about their own community and local businesses and business owners.

Many of these same people move to Denham Springs and Prarieville to recreate the same thing, because of course it's the very same people and mentality and refusal to recognize it's their biggest liability long term, and then the hold outs now want to cut the city in half. But let's be honest with ourselves, it's not as if changing a name is a new concept to Baton Rouge. It's been divided for some time now with the terms NBR and SBR and people who treat the two imaginary incorporated cities as being different when differentiating crime found in NBR and crime in SBR. It's one community, not four or five, and crime doesn't recognize any of these imaginary lines or name changes. It's a plague that you cannot run from and have to deal with as ONE community rather than dividing your forces and revenue to cause one area to go straight from struggling to welfare to third world and nothing to fund the infrastructure where many of these people will still be working in.



When people point to the baby boomer generation, or that mentality, and place blame, it's not as if their arguments are without merit. It's as if we never learn from our mistakes and are still intent on going head first into the brick wall over and over because at some point it's going to come down. And these lessons are being lost on many in the newer generations as well, still buying into what daddy, and grandpa thought was a good idea at the time, never once considering the possibility that they may have had good intentions, and good people, but they were wrong.

Good story. However, your basic premise is flawed: the St. George movement is to incorporate unincorporated areas. Baton Rouge would not lose one square inch of soil if St. George incorporates.

You will be taking money away from what needs to be funding all of BR.
