IIRC, they've got $100 million in cash just sitting there.

This is a problem. The amount of graft and corruption that abounds in local politics in general, but especially in Baton Rouge, means this will get stolen, misspent, or misappropriated. There is no reason for a city the size of Baton Rouge to have a parks department with that much cash on hand.

Same with the Library board.

These are just ways to continue to funnel money to select people directly from the tax payers.
