1. Our school board oh I mean mandatory daycare board and administration needs to go. We need to start with clean slate.

Only the voters can bring that about, and we have seen that isn't going to happen.

2. City of Baton Rouge needs its own govt and stop helping themselves to parish revenue. BR is the friend who keeps bumming money off of you and never pays you back. They need to learn fiscal reform.

I agree more transparency is needed so taxpayers can see where their money is going. I do think everyone in the city-parish should get the same level of services; however, I do realize some areas may pay more for these services simply because they are better off. I don't expect to get a dollar's worth of services for every dollar of tax I send to the city-parish, but I expect to receive the same level of services as everyone else in the parish (if practical).

3. EBRP needs its own parish police jury to make sure finances are separate from BR the friend that keeps leaching off the parish. All cities Baker, BR our leach of the parish, Zachary, and Central plus unicorporated areas needs to pay for parish offices.

There are parish wide taxes that pay for many if not most of the services we receive. People in Zachary, Baker, and Central pay them too. We all pay for parish offices.

Wow. You're a fool.

Baton Rouge not only has the highest credit rating of any city or parish in the entire state, but it has the highest credit rating that you can get. That's an indication that they are fiscally sound. Is it not?
