But they are now going to keep the local tax dollars in their own neighborhood. That is the change.
For the parish....or it's only supposed to be the parish. The City of Baton Rouge stealing tens of millions of dollars from the parish fund they're not really supposed to get is a BR problem. This is the only reason why there is any opposition, b/c the city officials don't want their theft to end.
Now they're going to have to live within their own means and they're throwing a hissy fit about it.

Residents of Lakeview in NO has tried for this for years.
Completely different situation, I believe. While Orleans Parish and the City of New Orleans are technically governed the same, there are no unincorporated areas. It's all Orleans. EBR is different. There are still unincorporated areas of EBR. Lakeview would be an actual example of "breaking away".

Trying to remember from 9th grade ethics, but Orleans Parish is 1 of 2 parishes in the State where there is only 1 city. They are "divided" into multiple neighborhoods, East, Lakeview, Algeris, Mic-City, Upton...., but it is all 1 city.
A better example would be one of the many cities (21) in Jefferson Parish that are not already incorporated (15 unincorporated).
