This is getting weirder


Yes, all this is strange, and different questions need to be asked
You don’t have to deal with it if you don’t want to

As to why it is not used for labor outside of highway trash clean-up, my guess is that there is a bit of reticence about the possibility that a source of free, real, hard labor would end up incentivizing the incarceration of people for pettier and pettier crimes.


This is how the private prison system works. They make all kind of stuff with slave labor
Ashley furniture is one, J.C. Penney, PPE companies, Cintas, Victorias secret, and a ton more
Keeps them prison stocks up.
They also fund that murder rap down here so the slaves I mean prisoners keep coming in

The St. George proponents are better described as "hostages" than members of the Baton Rouge "community" at this point.


For a bunch of liberal haters, y’all seem to play the victim card quite frequently here.

St. George isn’t a community it’s a group of suburban neighborhoods that are part of Baton Rouge just not within the defined city limits. To act like it’s a separate community is completely disingenuous.


This
And the NRA happen to follow with a huge convention in Houston. Amazing how that works.
Went to a church in Central that had a sign in foyer of Paul revere warning everyone “The Liberals are coming”. It’s a big church out there.

The experts have been testifying in court all last week and part of this week. City experts and SG experts. I suspect there was more than a “napkin” placed on the record as evidence.


I agree, but you got to admit the organizational optics aren’t that great for a future city with 90k people.
Has the race card been played? Cause SG don’t look so good in that area either.

Got no dog in this hunt, but I hope more than this "back of napkins economics" was presented in court.


This is exactly why I question if the SG organizers know what they are doing.
With all the annexations, what will be providing the majority of sales tax?
Are the tax numbers updated? Does that 44 million include the recently annexed businesses?
Also doesn’t Central pay higher sales tax?

Also why isn’t the accrued liability not accounted for in the first year budget? When will that hit?
What screen is it on? An updated one? Is there one? A real one
Link?
It’s a good advertisement for Central Private. They just built new facilities and everything

I think thieves should be punished but you don't need to get your dick hard and go on a high speed chase over a fricking TV.


I’d sue the city if my family was killed by a police chase. It’s stupid and pointless. There are cameras at every intersection, all over the interstate, phone pinging devices on most bill boards. They have the ability to know your every move from the time you leave your house. Hell they can map the inside of your house with Wi-Fi signals.
Unless they have a bomb or something, let them go. Who cares?
Did not know about transition team, that’s a good thing.
I still want to know if our sales tax will go up like central.
If they go up it’s going to be hard buying high ticket items in STG if sales taxes are lower down the road a little. I’d drive .1 miles to save $100
Lawn mowers appliances tv, hell even the damn grocery bill would be cheaper across the street on EBR side
I could be wrong
quote:

St. George will ultimately save Baton Rouge


Which would be great, but can someone point me in the direction of the plans and budget breakdowns? The plans for office? The plans for police? The plans for taxes?
Actual breakdowns, not some half arse thrown together bullet points from the web site.
quote:

Over the course of these three days, St. George leadership has admitted that there really isn't a plan in place and any governmental services are subject to having enough funding.

I figure that putting younger kids just starting in school into the system for a year or two to try it out is far more likely than pulling a kid out of Episcopal or St Joe’s with no possibility of return if they don’t like it.


One could argue the voters were misled by reading this. To my understanding schools are not happening any time soon. If ever and was never part of what the vote was for.
quote:

Do you even know how this entire SG this thing came about? It doesn't appear so.


Yes, a lot of people thought it was for new schools. Because that’s what they were told in the beginning, and even tho the organizers knew schools were NOT going to happen, they kept pushing new schools to sell the vote.
