re: St. George officials sworn into office Monday…Mary Olive Pierson responds

[quote]Because of the unique form of government that EBR and BR used to be. All the money from the entire parish went into one coffer.[/quote]
Okay, but if someone lives in St. George now what taxes automatically converted from parish to city taxes? I’m just not sure taxes do that without some kind...

I’m somewhat confused about the money/tax details. So, St. George, which was previously an unincorporated community, is becoming a city in East Baton Rouge Parish. Wouldn't the residents continue to pay the same taxes they paid before, since those were parish taxes and not city taxes? How could an a...

re: The Israel-Palestine rhetoric has turned comical
Posted by cssamerican on 6/10/24 at 5:45 am
The Palestinians invaded Israel and declared war. There is and has always only been one way to win a war, conquer your enemies either into submission or eliminate them. Trust me, if the Palestinians could win this war, they would.
The part that amazes me is how so many people don’t understand wha...
re: They aren't coming for your guns, right? (for the 8,432nd time)
Posted by cssamerican on 6/10/24 at 5:05 am
Our gun laws are stupid, anybody who says differently isn’t thinking about it very much. For example, a 9mm carbine is illegal if the barrel is shorter than 16” because you didn’t register it and pay a tax; however, I can have a 9mm pistol that fits in my pocket without registering and paying a tax ...

Your idea could work if you weighted the parishes for population. That is what the electoral college does at the federal level. For example, Wyoming doesn’t count the same as California. ...

Pellet grills are technology driven and it’s likely no matter which one you buy today in 10 years you will want something different anyway. If you looking for a buy once cry once type purchase go for a charcoal grill like a PK or Weber Summit, or a stick burner like a Workhorse or a Shirley....
re: Favorite vodka drinks
Posted by cssamerican on 6/9/24 at 8:40 pm
Not big on vodka based cocktails because I find most vodka cocktails are better when a different base spirit is used. For example a Margarita is better than a Kamikaze, and I prefer a Red Snapper to a Bloody Mary. So, if I was asked what cocktail I think works best with Vodka…a Lemon Drop :dunno:...
