I believed he asked the question, as in questions he would like answered, but factor that you may not be considering.

You seem to have done some homework on the issue, but your research seems biased against SG. It does not seem objective at all. I have yet to hear you come up with 1 positive for SG. That right there might tell you something.

What would you use to compare budgets of existing cities vs. SG? What is unfair about comparing two other existing EBR cities to the reasonableness of St George's budget?

If we just used the average budget per person of only Baker and Zachary, the result, $903/person, is 60% higher than the SG budget. Using that average the SG budget would have to be $93.6 million not the $60.3 million the organizers claim it will be.

In my attempt to be objective, I even threw out one La. city, Port Allen, because its budget/capita is so high, $1,392/person, that it skewed the averages.

What you are doing is called 'deflection' also known as a "Straw Man Argument."
