Me. The dirty tricks pulled by the better togethers are reason alone to support it.

I am only following Saint George from afar but everything I have read from the better together group is “they’re racist” and “we can’t pay for everything else we want to do with SG’s money.”

I’m sure that there is some very real racism to how everything went down 50+ years ago but it’s very obvious that the objectors just want money from a certain portion of the town and don’t care about the people there.

You have an area that services have been underfunded while the area keeps growing.

The metro council is funding wants instead of needs. When you hear the council debate and find money to supplement a private industry aka grocery stores while there no enthusiasm other issues something wrong.
This parish has flooding problems with no plan or enthusiasm. Where is the enthusiasm to fix roads in neighborhoods, smaller parish roads, and maintain sides of these roads?

A lot of people in this area flooded while assistance to help people get permits or direction on how to rebuild was poor throughout this parish.
Other towns that flooded supported their community a lot better where unincorporated were left in the dark.
EBRP metro council along with the mayor president did the bare minimum which is unacceptable.

Sheriff dept has only 7 officers on duty in this area which most deputy’s are pulling duty in Gardere. It is a shame that a lot of smaller towns have more officers on duty per shift than this area does.

Garbage has been spotty while nothing has been done. There is a contract which if followed would solve a lot of the missed service issues. The metro council has refused to follow the contract instead choosing to have pixy and fairy dust meetings which nothing changes.

80,000 or more people deserve better than what they are paying for. They had four years to show this area they would make improvements while nothing has been done.

My vote will reflect it is time for a change.
In my opinion the City of BR and Parish governments need to spilt to serve the people of this parish and The City of BR residents better.

Wrong. I do care about paying more taxes..

I (not sure where you live) am going to get taxed from either side. The point is I would rather pick a side that I have SOME trust versus zero trust to spend my hard earned money in this proposed area.

I do agree with the other things you are saying but TEA Party activities but the incorporation does NOT have to be mutually exclusive. In fact, they are kind of unrelated in this instance.

Constituents in this area are being bled dry to fund shite mostly in other parts of town.

NOLA article on why ONE BR wants to keep SG from incorporating

Bogus. EBRP Republican Party announced they haven’t shite to do with these hacks

It stands to reason that creating another level of government will come at additional cost.

However, two things.

1) It's been widely reported that St. George pays more in taxes to EBR than services received. And that some of that tax money would stay in St George due to the goofy tax structures in place. It may be that the money that stays home is enough to cover the added expense.

2) Being a conservative republican doesn't mean being against all taxes. It means wanting a fair value of return on your taxes. If St. George is run properly, it might be worth a few extra bucks.

Pretty ironic that this flyer is bashing a deal with Jindal, the ultimate "no tax Republican"
