You’re forgetting about the 50% of the parish that lives in crappy houses in north Baton Rouge. Thanks to your precious homestead exemption they don’t pay property taxes and will vote for any increase.

Hopefully the majority on the C-P Council won’t put it on the ballot.

It’d be great if she used some sort of sound deadening fabric for the mask.

Or, you know, soaked it in chloroform before she strapped it on.

This. Her administration does a hell of a job advocating for taxes and then zero follow up after. Which is incredibly short sighted. They need to be running stories on the COA feeding the elderly, streets getting paved, etc. Now you and I know it’s all bullshite but this is how you convince the Sheeple. She and her minions are just shitty politicians.


You ever thought that maybe none of those things are happening?

She might try but she won’t get them. They used up all those bullets with CATS, MovEBR, COA, and the Bridge Center fiasco. More taxes isn’t going to happen.


The very fact that she is the mayor proves that EBR is constantly at risk for new taxes. And if you think the Council is a defense from that, enjoy that collapsing safety net for as long as you think you can.

You’d think they could find a few old folks getting a meal, a couple of happy bus riders or someone paving a sidewalk. But yes, you may be right; little of anything is happening.

I had forgotten about her.

JBE is getting all the airtime for this virus and DeStroya has been the louder idiot the last few months.

Broome has been shockingly quiet.

Not her hair, Baw. She culturally appropriated that. It sleeps on the dresser at night.

No doubt she’d tax the Sun if she could.
Right now I think we have the votes to stop a tax election, but there is no margin of safety. In the future who knows?

If you’re a EBR resident, that’s a bad move.

She has tried to get more air time but with little luck. She even had pressers on abuse during The crisis and how to handle your finances during the crisis. From the OP I guess she’s pushing masks now trying to get air time.

Kip would've shown up in a full on bunny suit with positive pressure air source. It would've been glorious.

I would like to see some major tax Reductions. BREC has way too many parks,most of that land needs to be sold off. The Library Board is sitting on a huge pile of cash. The libraries are built like palaces,not many people checking out/reading actual books. CATS is running huge buses with hardly anyone riding them. City Parish is trying to repair highways that are State highways and the "new" tax has ground to a halt. What I would really like to see is the Executive branch of the city parish attempt to diversify our economy.

I bet that new roads tax will get dumped into the general fund for awhile to help prop up the budget.
