That's because St. George already has fire districts which are supported by property taxes we pay. The city of St. George wouldn't be in the fire business just like EBR Parish isn't now in the rural areas.
The same thing applies to sewerage. We pay a sewer fee to support the sewer system that is a parish wide system. We would continue to support the system just as we are now.
Our garbage pick up is paid fopr by property taxes also. That would continue as is and the city of St. George wouldn't be in the garbage business.
I don't think you have a clue as to how things work out here in the sticks.
