The St George 'budget' is so lacking in details I don't know what it really includes. Just look at the "Public Services" line. It's a mystery what all it includes or how the numbers were derived.
But yet you worked all morning reviewing other city's budgets so you could run a comparative analysis ot the St. George budget.
Who is being disingenuous here?
I knew right away why St. George's budget is relatively small, and other budgets would likely be much larger because I live in St. George and I know I pay property milleages for fire, garbage, etc and that I pay a separate bill for sewer services.
You don't live in St. George I suspect because you really don't know what we pay now.
But I will say your point about reviewing the numbers is a fair one. too often people do get misled, and before anyone votes they should try and find out exactly what they are voting for.

If you're trying to say I don't know what taxes and fees everyone in St George pays, you're right. Do you?
I've studied the property tax millage assessments on the EBR assessor's website so I have a decent idea what city residents pay versus residents outside the city limits.
Currently property owners inside the city limits pay 13.12 mills in property taxes designated as "Baton Rouge City Tax" that property owners outside the city limits don't pay. LINK
And there are taxes which property owners in specific areas pay that property owners in other areas don't pay.
If you have more detailed information you can offer about the SG area's taxes, I'd like to learn about it.
