re: The Advocate this morning - “Our Views: We urge Baton Rouge voters to reject St. George”

They actually contract it out to private maintenance crews as the city parish does not have enough man power to handle city parish servitude along the city roads.
Some place yes HOA's pay for it while other areas they do not.
There are places in these areas which the city does maintain the sides of the roads which is their job along city roads.

Best part is seeing the City of BR taxes go up when they finally realize they cannot afford these bloated heavy retirement and debt heavy departments.

BRPD
BRFD
Constable
City Court

Then they finally have to pay their fair share for the services they use more than incorporated areas, while unicorporated areas pays for it.
DA's office
District Court
Constables office

Seems like Kingbob you guys have a lot more to lose than we do. Unicorporated areas pay for services we do not receive along with services everyone in this parish receives. Some areas use these services more than our area cough cough "BR".

Good luck with BRAF and BRAC breathing down the neck of your metro council leaders which will probably ask for a special tax if this happens to offset budget cuts.

The melts will be golden if St George becomes a city.
