re: Baton Rouge spends nearly the same amount on 14 libraries as St George's entire budget

That is a dedicated tax that is being collected parish-wide, so the money can’t be used for anything else. As it is a parish tax the residents of the city of St. George still have to pay that tax as well as fund their city government on a much smaller tax base than the library tax.
BTW, the library tax is a property tax of 11.1 mils. Sounds like they are saying they will need a significantly higher millage rate than that of the libraries to fund their city government. The Parish has about 450,000 residents and the proposed city has what about 90,000 residents? So, property taxes will go up about 50 mils?

The people of SG know they will Still be lying for these libraries. That’s not the point.
What they are saying is that it takes EBR the same amount of money to run 14 libraries as it would to run the whole city of SG

WRONG
You obviously didn't read the proposed SG budget.
There is s 2% sales tax currently being paid now that would fund the city govt.
Quit making up chit.

And all the lottery money is earmarked for education.
