The organizers think they can incorporate without raising taxes.

They have not mentioned how much it would take to run a school district.

In fact they've been clear that there is "no guarantee that taxes won't need to be raised". I think they have a significant need for new school buildings. Those are not cheap.

That is the exact opposite of what is stated on their website.

Q: Will my taxes go up if we incorporate?

A: Taxes shouldn’t have to be raised to support a new city.

Of course they could do things the way Sandy Springs Ga did. Tired of the bloat Fulton County was putting on them they incorporated and out sourced essentially every service and operate better and far, far less costly than other cities their size

Wouldn't it make sense to get a talley of how legislators will vote on the new school district, before doing all this?

The claim is that incorporation is the path to getting a new school district but there's zero evidence other than the St George politicians say so.

What will the vote be with and without incorporation and WHO will change their minds?
