St. George Lawsuit
Posted on 10/12/19 at 3:07 pm
Posted on 10/12/19 at 3:07 pm
I have heard the parish government is going to challenge the new city of St. George if it passes. Does anyone know under what legal theory the parish government will use to challenge the new city?
From everything I see the new city's incorporators are following the law as it is written? Looks like Sour grapes to me.

I have a feeling it won't pass. A bunch of Boomers were bamboozled by the "no new taxes" bullshite taxes. These were probably the same dumbasses who keep voting for road repair mils only to be found to be duped again in another 7 years.

Wont matter, the voters decide and it's on paper. They'll be digging their own graves if they challenge.

they're going to use several
there is a parish ordinance/constitution (not sure exactly how the government is formed for EBR Parish) that was already ruled unconstitutional that they will primarily rely on. this regulation would limit any further cities, but it can't trump the state constitution, which allows incorporation, so it's likely spinning wheels
then there are going to be countless theories related to racism, disparate impact, equal protection, taxation, and anything under the sun.
the biggest issue is that if StG wins, JBE will be governor and he'll pick the government initially. GA-RON-TEED this hand-picked unit will enter into all sorts of agreements with EBR that will frick StG and "Save" BR (the city). that's the risk of a lawsuit, because if the lawsuits enjoin StG and JBE loses, they'll lose all leverage if/when the Appeals court dismisses the suit finally

It is going to pass. The only question is by how much

Tell that to the Brits that voted for brexit which will never happen

Could a citizen of the new city enjoin the JBE mayor from entering into any agreements with EBR (standing issue)? Likelihood of success on a permanent injunction until the people of St. George vote for their representatives?

i don't think so. i think the constitution has procedures to have the Gov appoint the city council until they can vote. as far as i know (which isn't much, admittedly), that council has the full authority of the city

Not sure if a lot of StG people realize this

You'd have to show special damages I'd think. Not just damages common to all. That aside, a mayor (or other official) isn't supposed to contract beyond his or her term. While it's often done, there are ways out for the new administration.

My question is how JBE can appoint officials while BR is suing to overturn the results of the election.
If such a scenario happened, his runoff opponent could effectively use any attempt to stack the appointed officials as a club to beat him over the head.
“Governor Honor Code insists he always does the right thing yet he is attempting to appoint opponents of St George as running that city until the next election!”

I have a relative that works for the parish government. There’s been nothing said about this. Stop making things up please

I'm not so sure the guy who drives the mosquito truck is privy to high level information.

Hasn’t Mary Olive Pierson, the attorney for the city parish, been quoted as looking into lawsuits over this?
Posted on 10/12/19 at 3:40 pm to teke184
There is zero doubt in my mind that she's gonna be involved in some kind of litigation if the people of St. George vote to incorporate.
Posted on 10/12/19 at 3:41 pm to TigerstuckinMS
No doubt either, I just mean it is hard to say there is “no talk” about this if she has been quoted in the press.

This is why you turn over the certification to Governor Edwards as soon as possible. I think elections for the city government have to be held within 6 months. I don’t think there is a prohibition from holding an election for those positions before 6 months.
If JBE installs someone opposed to the idea of St. George then it will hurt his re-election. The new appointed mayor won’t have the will of the people to negotiate on its behalf. They will just be able to set up the perfunctory things for the city in the meantime.
Meanwhile MOP will be collecting her check from us tax payers for Broomy’s ego hit.
