The area produces 2/3 of all BR tax revenue

For some reason this requires approval from the legislature

I know... consider the source. But they have been claiming it for a long time now unchallenged.

We represent more than two-thirds of the parish's tax base but only about one-third of its expenditures, and the area which will be St. George has never produced a mayor-president of Baton Rouge in modern times.
I am pretty sure they are referring to property tax. I found this from the advocate regarding sales tax. I would expect a large gap considering there are a LOT of houses in baton rouge that fall below the $75k homestead exemption.

If supporters succeed in their quest to create the city of St. George, they will carve off a quarter of the residents in areas covered by the city-parish government but take 40 percent of the sales tax revenue, according to a study by LSU economists released Sunday.
