Similar thing happened in Shelby County, TN where Memphis was the largest city. The Memphis City School Board wanted the wealthy suburbs to contribute their "fair share" to Memphis schools. The suburbs refused, so the Memphis City School Board surrendered its charter, forcing the county suburb school system to take over the Memphis schools. Then Memphis agitators sued because they didn't have adequate representation on the new, bigger county school system, and a judge granted them many seats on the county school board, enough so that Memphis had a majority and apparent authority to redirect suburb wealth to the inner city school system.Ag87H2O said:
Man, the libs are going to hate this one. Besides losing a huge part of their tax base, it sets the table to this to happen in other craphole blue cities.
This is a fantastic decision by the Louisiana Supreme Court. I hope other red enclaves in Democrat ruined blue urban areas try the same thing. Nobody should have to live under that level of incompetence and corruption.
Well, not so fast. The suburbs had friends in the TN legislature, who passed a law allowing the Memphis suburbs to break away from Memphis and form their own individual school systems in each suburb. Memphis sued again and won because the TN Supreme Court ruled that because the law applied only to Shelby County, it violated the TN constitution which prohibited a law applying only to a portion of the state and not all of it. So the friends in the TN legislature passed another law that applied statewide which passed judicial review and allowed the Shelby County suburbs to break away from Memphis and form their own school districts without having to also fund the Memphis city schools.
Just like in Baton Rouge, it's important to NEVER give up fighting for your rights and resist the efforts of money-grabbing agitators who would rather blame somebody else and raid their pockets than take ownership for fixing their own situation.
