Right now, St George is putting about $50m a year into the general fund and not seeing anything close to that in services because they aren’t a city.


They could get $20m in services for $50m in tax revenue and it would be a step up from what the parish allocates now

Correct.

Sewerage and Water - parish service, already provided and paid for by taxpayers

Garbage and recycling - same

Sheriff - same

EMS - same

Fire (St. George) - exclusively paid for by St.G. residents.

They beat their chest about having a police department and the costs for that, but that's not required - they can stand pat with EBRSO (at least, for a while).

Schools?

They don't even have a district yet - so it's a parish-wide expense and is already paid for.
