So let me get this straight. You want higher taxes so that the percentages spent on libraries and teacher safeties won't be as high?
I don't think that the libraries should be receiving the highest individual percentage of my tax payment.
I don't think that the library should be receiving 150% of the next highest millage. That's not smart to me as it relates to a return on investment. I don't see this type of issue in other places I have property.
IMO EBR Schools should decide that they will pay teachers some considerable percentage higher than other districts to try to achieve some serious change. Instead they are bidding to have Wifi installed at all schools in the neighborhood of $5mil. However, IMO that school system is a lost cause.

That percentage will certainly go down when you're paying more taxes for other stuff.
I'm not sure that really is a big issue. I do think they probably spend a little much on it but the tax was voted on by the entire parish. Libraries seem less important now days, though. I'm not sure anything changes after the incorporation. The library system is separate.

EBR Schools
Has nothing to do with incorporating St. George. Residents of St. George will still be in the EBR school district. Fact.

But you're being silly about the library tax because it is a parish wide millage. It won't go down for you even if SG incorporates.

Tell us, where does this money for higher teacher salaries come from?
