To be fair that's because we already pay EBRSO a separate property tax that is independent of city/parish taxes. One would hope that if EBRSO cut its' patrol presence in half that we could lower the EBRSO taxes for the entire parish. Not by half because they do other things parish-wide but still a significant drop.

If SG isn't going to take over law enforcement then their budget isn't too small. In fact, all you really need is enough to have a police chief.
If SG is going to take over law enforcement then your assertion that their LE budget is too small, is valid. However why would EBRSO continue to patrol and police the SG area if that's the case? They don't patrol the city of BR. They could pull out and reduce their presence by 50%. (SG is half of the unincorporated area).
If EBRSO continues to patrol SG then that isn't fair to the city of BR and they should demand the same treatment. They pay the same taxes to EBRSO as SG will.
