The unfairness is non city taxes going to city services and are you sure this isn't happening.

This is ludicrous.

The whole parish pays for police protection and the whole parish receives police protection.

Do people in unincorporated areas pay more for police protection? No. Do they pay double? Hell no.

Do people in unincorporated areas get less police protection? No. If anything people in the unincorporated areas were getting a better deal because they don't have to pay the BRPD tax. When the police forces are consolidated it would be the same except taxes in city-proper would go down.

Of course, you guys will seek to bust that up.
