First paragraph shows not to pay attention to article, but I am sure all Dems stil will.

Getting GOOD articles written on the situation is hard due to a number of reasons.
The single biggest problem is that even people from the area weren’t necessarily aware of how fricky the city limits were until it affected them, mainly if you lived in the area rather than worked in the area.
The civil service holiday for the governor’s inauguration causes this issue to bubble up every 4 years, as state employees within the BR city limits get a day off while those nominally in BR but not in the incorporated area don’t.
This gets really ugly at times given that the boundaries dance around State Archives, several retirement systems, etc, between 10 and 12 on Essen.
People working in the Baton Rouge Region office of various agencies used to lose their shite when told that they didn’t get a day off because they didn’t actually work in BR.
