## Resource

Baton Rouge’s political scene is heating up as Mayor Pro-Tem Brandon Noel accuses Mayor-President Sid Edwards of sidelining the Metropolitan Council in a high-stakes legal battle over St. George’s official incorporation date. Edwards publicly clashed with the parish attorney’s involvement, but Noel says council members were blindsided—left out of all discussions and unaware of any behind-the-scenes deals. The City-Parish has a vested interest, since the court’s ruling on whether St. George is legally a city could impact their operations. At the heart of it: a lawsuit claiming no valid court order ever set the city’s founding date. With communication breakdowns at the core, tensions are rising—and the council is demanding transparency before this legal and political dance reaches its climax.
