they would be less likely to support the effort just because of the likely significant tax increases they would have to pay just for city services, excluding any additional taxes for the school system.
My guess is they wouldn't mind paying more, if they actually got something in return and saw a better use of their tax dollars.
Why is this so hard to understand.

I agree with this. I also believe, though, that we need more information about the actual costs of St. George.

But why don't the organizers just tell the truth and let people decide based on facts and not on fantasy and lies?

It's hard to understand because you won't specify what increased services you are expecting to receive.
St George has adequate public works and police. St George has received more road improvements and infrastructure investments than any other part of the parish. Look at all the roads that were widened + shoulders or flat out extended.
Be specific as to what services you want.
Kip is giving his annual State of the Parish speech today, I think.

EXACTLY!! I will pay more if I have to. That doesn't matter. A few hundred dollars a thousand what does it matter. If I have to pay 10-15k a year to send my kid to school I will gladly accept the increase tax trade off over what private schools would cost. A good public school is a lot cheaper on my wallet then private school. What is the argument against that? That is all that has been said to oppose this. Tax tax tax like that's supposed to scare the voters away. It's not going to, so stop being annoying.
