St. George Citizens - Tidbit about Racca

I never post stuff like this, but I appreciate loyalty, and St. George residents need to remember something about Jen Racca.
In April 2022 she voted yes to rezone roughly 60 acres at Hoo Shoo Too and South Tiger Bend from agricultural/rural to residential so a developer could put in the Woodhill subdivision (nearly 200 homes).
She was one of the yes votes (with Amoroso, Banks, Cole, Coleman, Dunn, Hurst, and Moak). The three no votes were Dwight Hudson (who represents that area), Brandon Noel, and Laurie Adams.
I’ve been seeing her Justice of the Peace signs all over and it brought it back. I remember that meeting vividly — Hudson looked straight at her and mouthed “what are you doing?” after she voted yes. Residents were begging them not to do it over flooding, traffic on that two-lane road, and killing what little rural character is left out there. She still voted for the developer.
She’s either bought and paid for or just another phony when it comes to protecting this side of the parish. Either way, St. George people should remember exactly where she stood when it counted.

I'm not saying this is the case, but Ryan Heck told me that it is easy to get another council member to present an item to vote on via another council member to keep you from looking bad within your district. He brought this up after Smokie Bourgeois presented an agenda item to stop food trucks from competing with his George's locations. Smokie could have had another present it for vote.

Oh noz! Housing development is the debil!
Also, housing prices are too damn high! Our generation is will never be able to afford a house!

You missed the point.
It wasn’t “housing is the devil.” It was a rural area that had been intentionally kept rural. A big developer bought the land knowing the zoning restrictions, then muscled the Metro Council to change it after the fact because they couldn’t get permits under the existing rural classification.
The road was already heavily trafficked and undersized — that’s one of the main reasons the permits weren’t granted originally. Adding nearly 200 homes on top of that wasn’t smart planning.
This also had nothing to do with being anti-development. It had everything to do with the Metro Council using their last window of control to force denser development into a future St. George area as a middle finger before St. George could govern itself. They knew the switch was coming and still did it.
That’s the issue. Not “houses bad.” Racca voted with the city, so no one in St. George should support her.
