More than 18,000 residents in the suburbs south of Baton Rouge,
the state capital of Louisiana, have signed a petition calling for the
creation of a new city called St George.
The community is currently part of East Baton Rouge Parish, which
also includes the city of Baton Rouge itself.
The campaigners claim they simply want to improve the quality of
local schools and to ensure that taxpayers - who currently contribute
roughly two thirds of funds to the parish - have more control over
the money they contribute to fund services.
Opponents insist that the proposal is also motivated by race and class.
They point out that the new city of St George would be 70% white -
and that the mainly poor and black community in the rest of Baton
Rouge would face crippling cuts to education if it lost the taxpayers
who provide most of its revenue.
