If he had to get stitches, not a shot he plays

Ohh these are fun.

At one wedding I watched the father of a bride give a speech about how terrible of a husband and father he was, sharing some previous undisclosed scandalous info.

At another wedding I watch the mother and father of the bride(divorced) have a knock down drag out verbal yelling match in the middle of the sit down dinner

Never up early enough for this thread…

First kids came home from the hospital yesterday. Needless to say it’s been a fun first night

I imagine this week has the potential to be very ugly, and full of buying opportunities

I'm wondering why they didn't incorporate all of SEBR. My guess is that since we were on a Mayor-President system it didn't matter. Or so they thought.

You’re so against St George, yet between this thread and others that you dont understand why things are the way they are.

The city of BR couldn’t annex any of the unincorporated land into the city of BR due to civil rights laws on the books from the 60s. These laws prevent the addition of new areas if it dilutes the “minority” population. Minority doesn’t mean the small population though, it means non-white. So because the unincorporated area as a whole is about 65% white, it couldn’t be added. And any of the areas that could have been added would have just made the remaining incorporated area even whiter.

So no that we’ve established why it couldn’t be incorporated, let’s look at the money. St George is anchored by the 70810 and 70817 zip codes, the two wealthiest zip codes in EBR parish. Because of the consolidation city parish government system, money is collected from the city of BR and all unincorporated areas and placed into a single government fund. Money is then transferred out of that fund into operating accounts to pay for services.

What was always known, but factually exposed recently is that the city of BR is financially dependent on the unincorporated areas to provide services such as CATS, BRPD and BRFD, which only service the city of BR. So ever year when new taxes for the city are voted on and passed, the money to provide those services is coming from a portion of the parish that won’t receive said service.that my friend is called taxation without representation.

The EBRSS is no different really. $70M dollars collected from St . George’s 90k population and only 5 public schools to show for it. And don’t get me started on the fact that families who live as far south and Perkins and Pecue are zoned to McKinley HS.

I grew up in St. George, went to private school, and currently own a home in BR proper.


My wife and I will move to St. George and send our kids to St. George if it passes

Added BRUN. @ $27.77 and DRAM @$51.18

I grabbed another $750 of OUST at 31.50

Sounds like you still very much think this is still a strong buy at the current price
