First, I think the leaders of the SG incorporation are doing as good of a job as anyone could do under the circumstances.
But the opposition to SG has nothing to do with the leaders of incorporation. BR wants SG tax money. Period. The SG movement could be led by a Democrat, a Republican, an MBA, an engineer, a high school dropout, a Muslin, a short guy, a black guy, a fat guy, a woman, or a guy who wears overalls, and the same people who oppose it now would oppose it then because they don't want to SG tax money to go away.

1. "SG tax money" doesn't exist because SG isn't a thing. It's an idea.
2. The Mall of Louisiana and that area was never associated with the school drive or the incorporation drive. Rainey has no legit claim to that property just because he drew a line on a petition.
3. Yes, it's about tax dollars. SG wants the taxes from the mall and the casino. That's why their petition included all of that. BR is trying to avoid a Parish budget deficit.

No they aren't. Well, I think they are doing a good job in drumming up support. I'll give 'em that. But people care about schools and are so frustrated they will believe anything if it might make things better. But it's a shame because that pent up energy is being wasted.
But they haven't really thought through the logistics of a new city. They thought this would be like Central. There was some minor push back on Central, but basically they really are a different community. They sort of randomly came up with map. That's now way to set up a city. The people in central had been planning a city for decades.
