The proposal to incorporate a new city in southeast East Baton Rouge Parish would:

– Remove $85 million in tax revenue from East Baton Rouge Parish.
– Create an annual city-parish budget deficit of $53 million (20% of the entire budget).
– Result in tax increases and/or service cuts for ALL residents of East Baton Rouge Parish, including southeast residents, to make up for revenue losses and create duplicate municipal services.
– Pose a threat to the economic stability of the metro region.
– Increase distrust and division across our community.
