The rest of Washington Parish isn’t responsible for footing the bill for Bogalusa, because that’s what will happen. The mayor of Franklinton is suggesting the same, simply because he and the chief of police hate each other.

Yes the sheriffs office will foot the bill, but they’d also be receiving the property and sales taxes collected, less the pension costs of those already retired out of the system. I live inside the city limits of Franklinton. There’s no need for a huge police force. We could eliminate multiple employees and let the sheriffs office handle it. As an actual conservative I’d fully support this, especially if taxes eventually get reduced. The new sheriff seems like the type of person to do it.
