BATON ROUGE, La. – Former Mayor Sharon Weston Broome is reportedly in a state of disbelief after learning that the organizers of St. George actually listened to her. Sources say Broome has been pacing her living room, staring at the wall, and occasionally muttering, “But they weren’t supposed to actually do it…”
Over a decade ago, Broome confidently told the Southeast BR School District organizers that they couldn’t form their own school district unless they first incorporated as a city, fully expecting them to sigh in defeat and return to their regularly scheduled tax payments. Instead, the group took her words as gospel, spent the next several years making St. George a reality, and—just as they were about to celebrate—were immediately sued by Broome for doing exactly what she told them to do.
Now, after losing that lawsuit and watching St. George move forward with its own school district, Broome is reportedly considering taking legal action against herself for setting the entire chain of events in motion.
Legal experts warn that if Broome successfully sues herself, it could set a dangerous precedent where politicians are held accountable for their own words—an outcome no elected official is prepared to face. In a last-ditch effort, she is reportedly drafting a new lawsuit arguing that St. George organizers violated an unspoken rule: Never take a politician seriously.
