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.

Baton Rouge is possibly the most transparent and well accounted for government in the state. The irony of your statement is that they want to do the exact opposite with St. George. Most of the spending will be given to CH2mhill in the form of a large contract and there will be very little accountability in terms of preventing nepotism and political favors.
When Central and Bodi White contracted out to CH2mhill, some well connected people were getting free construction done at their homes, driveways done, culverts, shops built, etc and it was all fine and dandy because CH2mhill is private and their finances are private. They were subbing out work to politically connected contractors, like Rebel Electric which was owned by the son of a state legislator. They refused to show where they spent money.
