Per the 2014 budget, the cost to provide services that are exclusive to Baton Rouge is $159.4 million while the revenue generated by the city of Baton Rouge is $176.2 million. That leaves Baton Rouge contributing $16.8 million to fund the costs of services benefitting the entire parish. The costs of those services is $193.7 million.
BR should pay for services exclusive to them, right? And the entire parish should share in services required for the entire parish, right?
So if BR has half the population of the entire parish(approx.) you would think they would pay more than 16.8 million dollars for parish services that total 193 million dollars.
I think something is out of whack here provided your numbers are correct.

It should be evident that the taxes generated outside the city of Baton Rouge are being used to benefit the residents of Baton Rouge to a much greater extent than the taxes generated within Baton Rouge are being used to benefit those living outside Baton Rouge. Unless the residents of Baton Rouge use common services at a much lower rate than non-residents of Baton Rouge. And we know that is just not the case.
Just the DPW spends more than $16.8 million for services inside of Baton Rouge. The DPW plans to spend $47.3 million in 2014. If the spending is allocated per capita, then the spending inside Baton Rouge will be greater than 50% since Baton Rouge residents make up greater than 50% of the parish population.
