Right. The only thing I think they are talking about as far as being neglected, is all the millions they pay in taxes that go ONLY to BR.
Like the fire and police protection for instance.
Right?

That would be a huge thing, given how much BRFD and BRPD take from the general fund that St. George kicks into despite receiving no service from either.

The attempt to replace St. George Fire District board members with BRFD loyalists gives me the redass. Unless the BRFD is going to start giving coverage to these areas and make the St. George Fire District unnecessary, these individuals should be NOWHERE NEAR the St. George board.

SG residents don't pay property taxes for BRPD or BRFD.

They have separate property taxes for those, including their own fire districts outside the city limits which only serve SG.
