Of course it would take a vote. But if you are claiming the leaders have said new taxes might have to be proposed, please provide a link. I have not seen or read even one statement by them that additional taxes might be needed.
On what are you basing the need to raise taxes? You seem to be pulling this out of your arse.
Right now the unincorporated area surpluses about $50 million to the city proper. We are already paying for our own fire and policing. Where are the additional $50 million dollars in expenses coming from?
According to the evil monsters who dare to democratically change a shitty situation, there will be a $20 million dollar city surplus, yearly. These same awful people who love their children, are claiming that there will be a $30 million dollar surplus for the school district, yearly. That is more than enough money to bond for new schools.
You talk about bussing issues in the new school district. On day 1, some kids may have to ride a ways. But once the new schools are built that will be corrected. That's the plan...
All this talk about schools is one thing. What really grinds my gears is the fact that brpd and brfd are being funded by us and they don't service us.
Should the people of Wataon be forced to pay for the Denham springs fire and police? Of course not! But these jive arse turkeys in BR are telling me yes with a straight face... All while telling me they're doing me a favor.
It breaks down simply.
One group is paying for shite they aren't getting. One group is getting shite they aren't paying for. The ones paying are sick of the bullshite. The ones being subsidized are scared they'll have to pay their own way.

Right back at you.
The proposed expenditure budget for SG is $60 million. LINK
Study the budget just a little before you make up numbers.
Where is the reimbursement money for legacy costs SG would inherit? No money for new roads. Only $13 million for ALL of the DPW functions. One bridge replacement costs more than that. No money for road construction of any kind.
$3 million for annual police protection via the EBR sheriff. The city of BR has a city police budget of $84 million for 2013. SG would have roughly 1/3 (33%) the population of BR and it is almost the same geographical size of BR but would only need police protection = to less than 4% of the costs of BR? That doesn't even pass the smell test.
The proposed budget is a fairy tale.
Stop being so emotional and use your head.

Not unless you still want to defer to the City-Parish government for schools and police protection.. and even then that's a stretch. It's kind of disturbing that these people will be entrusted with handling budget matters, especially given how nebulous the spending will be. Say what you want about BR and the clowns that occupy the council, but Kip Holden has been a great budget administrator and Baton Rouge has the highest credit rating of any municipality in the state.

Right. Let me get this straight. You think you're going to get a new school system, a new city government, and a new police department all without having to pay more?
Sounds totally realistic.
It doesn't bother you at all that you're already being lied to and gamed?This post was edited on 1/1/14 at 8:57 pm
