Russian,
St. George is covered by the EBR parish police currently. The additional monies would be to bolster the existing police coverage and provide for a St. George Police Chief only. There will not be a St. George police department.

As far as legacy costs go, the leaders of St. George have said that they will cover the appropriate legacy costs. Although I don't see a line item in the budget for this, there is a statement in the budget reading "EXCESS REVENUE OVER EXPENDITURES TO BE USED TO SATISFY LEGACY COSTS AND ANY BONDED INDEBTEDNESS". You can choose to disbelieve this if you wish. Personally, I'm done trusting the old guard of BR.

But I thought part of the reason for splitting was because you claimed that you were paying for police protection that you weren't getting. You're still going to pay into the City-Parish system for police protection and then on top of that you're going to pay extra. Sounds fun. Maybe you can get some tanks.. at my expense, of course.

There is no such thing as "EBR parish police."

There is the BR city police, the city constable and the sheriff.

But you trust someone who tells you there is such a thing as "EBR parish police" which doesn't exist?

The $60 million budgeted probably would cover just the legacy costs. But, gullible people believe what they want to believe.
