re: St. George tax: Vote NO for not yet

The St. George leaders reference the Central model often, but this is definitely not the same order Central went through. Central had an intergovernmental agreement in place with the parish - to decide who was paying for which services - BEFORE the tax proposition. I believe the election vote for Central leadership was on the same ballot as the tax proposal.
St. George has no agreement in place with the parish right now and not date for elections.
If you ever wanted to expose yourself as a clandestine pro-BR/anti-SG operative, you just did it.

And it if doesn't, you've given the Parish the revenue in perpetuity. You think the metro council is ever going to vote to reallocate it?
No, the parish doesn't deserve the money. I fully support St. George having control over its own finances. A "no" vote keeps the status quo for now (the parish gets the tax money first and then allocates the rest to the cities).
A no vote does not mean the parish keeps it forever. St. George can still put the tax on the ballot any time it wants to. I just disagree with a flat 2% before other financial issues are still unresolved. At least that is how I think most of us do our own personal budget. Shouldn't be any different for our city.

How so? I am attempting to just present facts. I am happy to hear from you where I am wrong on this. I definitely could be which is why I want the discussion.
Going to have to step away from the computer for awhile, but glad for the discussion. I gave my thoughts. Thank you for sharing yours.

It would be a city tax voted in by city residents who can choose to support it or not.

Because Kip Holden didn’t do everything he could to stop Central.

It’s obvious what you are doing when you register on Tigerdroppings and make this long post advocating for a “no” vote the day before the vote. Everyone recognizes you’re getting paid for these posts by the group organized to defeat the vote. How many new posters have registered today to advocate for a “yes” vote?

These together baton rouge idiots wont stop. They don't even live in St.G.
The tax exists and will remain regardless of a vote. The vote is- Do you want St.G to get its funding that they are rightfully due ( and the city owes back taxes to them as well that they will be sued for soon) or do you want the parish to get it and continue wasting it.
Nothing is being raised and nothing is going away. You are voting on who you want to have the money and this is only for people who live in St.G. So if you want to give your taxes to the parish and not your city - you are essentially an idiot.
Their b.s. propaganda needs to be countered, too many low IQ or distracted voters may fall for their tricks and lies.

Duh, we don’t want the status quo. We don’t want to beg Broome. We want city services from our city government and not trickle down from the parish.

it appears that multiple posters have already explained to you why you're wrong, and you just continue to ignore them...

This is the worst, most incorrect take on this issue yet. You cannot honestly believe yourself. And I am not even a St George resident.
The most common sense, logical vote tomorrow in the entire state of Louisiana is voting YES on this issue.

The concerted, organized effort to attempt to misinform voters on this issue is very telling.
Obviously, if you are pro-St. George, you should be YES on this vote.
The only people who want this to fail are those outside of St. George because they have been stealing that tax money and want to continue to do so.

They are fighting to keep our tax dollars. What does that tell you? They want to continue to take as much as they can.

These paid shills have come over from ND where they have been bombarding the same misinformation. Probably that nutcaseJeanie.

I’ve seen this asinine drivel posted on Next Door. You should stick to posting there with the rest of the loons who believe this inane bullshite.

How much did Together Baton Rouge pay you to post here?

Was "eat a juicy dick" the substantive explanation I missed?
I see a lot of people bring up the "new" tax criticism. As I said in my OP, that is not my position. It is irrelevant. Call it whatever you want. I agree with others on here that this vote is about who gets first control of the tax money. St. George should. I still pointed out other concerns beyond just who controls the money. I assumed most posters on here would disagree with me, which is why I posted here. I thought the responses would be a little more detailed, however.
Yes, it does look totally suspect that I post the day before the election. Still worth the risk. If posting concerns labels me a shill, then so be it. I think it is any citizens job to question the government, regardless of party (horshoe theory of politics). Figured this is something we all agree on.
But other than affirming a YES vote, you would always assume I was on the other side. I guess my posts are too long so they must be from a paid informant... hahahaPosted on 12/6/24 at 4:49 pm to TooncesAndOmar

You can donate your 20 bucks to the City of St. George. This discussion will run its course in due time anyway.
