City councilman on WBRZ this morning was saying he’s not letting Woodlawn high school go, saying that if St. George wants that and other school properties they should have to buy them.

I hope St. George gets every penny of the tax money from the past five years they paid in while this was held up in litigation. These assholes stalled this out, held free citizens hostage and refused to allow them to self govern, and took every penny they could from the part of the parish that actually pays taxes.

I really want this to be such a death knell on Baton Rouge that they are forced to drastically change the cancerous decline they have settled into because of the racist bullshite this city has engaged in at every political level for decades.

Burn it to the fricking ground.

Yep I saw that. He is an idiot. That was already paid for by the taxpayers and not the city of Baton Rouge. If we play by his rules then the city of Baton Rouge owes St. George for a portion of every school within the city limits since we partially paid for those.

Also, he straight up said that they “We are currently going through the process to make sure we can annex as many properties as possible.” Well that’s illegal. And if he’s soliciting other city council people to break the law, that’s collusion. He can’t solicit annexation. It has an actual process and must be petitioned to the council.

That's actually fair if all parties negotiate a price in good faith.

And that's what I've seen happen in similar circumstances in other states. We need to understand what % of tax dollars were contributed to EBRPSS by St. George relative to the rest of their district, and determine the value of the school itself and apply that % to it.

Honestly don't expect EBRPSS to negotiate in good faith, so likely the state will have to govern this kind of transition.
