The total amount of tax revenue collected by the city and parish will not change. The annexations must be beneficial to Baton Rouge or they would not be approved. If Baton Rouge benefits, then who suffers? It's as simple as that unless you are going to argue that the same amount of money is going to be spent so much more wisely that it will benefit everyone. And I don't think anyone is going to make that argument.

But the total amt . Of taxes will grow for those leaving the SG fire district into the city.
Property owners being annexed will pay city property taxes of
13.12 mills plus CATS tax of 10 mills
They will no longer pay SG fire district taxes of 14 mills
The net add is 9.12 mills.
