There is a public meeting on the 14th to discuss this.
SG needs to pay the appropriate salary for the responsibilities involved with each job.
175K for a mayor is too high. Rials is correct.
Council doesn’t need to be that high either.
Remember the City of SG has a minimal police dept., no fire dept., no city libraries, no Mosquitto control, and no city parks.
They plan to hire private companies to do most of the actual work so the responsibilities of a traditional mayor are not the same as the SG mayor.

Mayor 150k (full time Biz Dev and runs city council meetings, with veto power. so must know details about everything)
Council 40k (part time)
Chief of Police 85k (this position is very light on responsibility with no police dept to run).
City Manager sky's the limit, hire the best and throw money at them to get this show on the road.
This above is based on the proposed plan of government being adopted.

Thanks for the clarity and the update - Anti St. George fools who lives in BR have a mating call that is "St. George Gunna raise taxes". It is their go to line because misery loves company.
My occupational license went from $50.00 in Baton Rouge to $750.00 in St George.
So they, like everyone else disguise taxes as fees.

So you live near Athens but some how you have an occupational license in St. George. You also don't know how to do a google search before you lay down a bullshite claim which means you are on the Soros payroll.
So let me help the dumb leftist out:
The Revenue Division of the Finance Department in Baton Rouge, Louisiana handles occupational licenses for businesses in East Baton Rouge Parish.
Now go get your shine box.

How can the city justify such a 15x difference in license fee??
Excessive fees piss me off as much as high taxes.
You might want to drop a line to the new mayor and see how he responds.

I love when someone who thinks they are the smartest person in the room spout off before they heed their own advice.

I also own businesses in other states but apparently, according to your analysis you have to live within the city that you have a professional presence.
And people that somehow equate a comment immediately to any particular political party or position and declare well..me as “a dumb leftist” payroll of Soros proves to me how insecure they truly are. Sheep. Unable to understand or comprehend much beyond middle school football yet determined to show their ignorance and stupidity while somehow believing an insult is actual knowledge.
So I will say perhaps you should do your own research before commenting on a subject you obviously know nothing about.
Being a professional for 45 years I have learned that I am not the smartest guy in the room. But I am smart enough to surround myself with intelligent friends and colleagues and I’m also smart enough to know when to keep my mouth shut and my ears open. It’s called learning. And obviously you aren’t capable of it.
Insults are signs of low self esteem, insecurity and ignorance. Using a movie line as an insult is juvenile.
Yet here we are.
So in the spirit of giving.
Shut the frick up when you don’t know what the frick you are talking about you stupid fricking bag of dicks eating ignorant douchebag. And drop those fries.

These are way too high if there is going to be a city manager at 300-400k.
Cut them all by 1/2.
We were promised less government waste. All I have heard is they want to keep spending the same just changing who gets the money. Cut our sales tax to 1% from 2%. Operate on less.

Nicholas you’re obviously an anti St Georgie hack looking to stir BS but that bus left the station a long time ago. SWB and .her ilk spread racist lies for years but truth prevailed even with the opposition of white folks guilty of their “ white privilege “. Sorry to hammer on you….youre probably still hurting from the elections of both Trump and Coach Sid

Why we moved away from the Greater EBR area. It isn't getting better.

Interesting. My business is in EBR, and evidently in SG, as about a month ago I received my Occupational Fee (bill) from the City of SG, as opposed from EBR (hopefully).
Ballpark, it seemed about the same as previously, it's based on total revenue so I don't recall the exact previous, or know the exact 2024 total yet.
But I was surprised to be sending them money so quickly. We'll see.

Pay request may not be as ridiculous as you suggest.

All these politicians are paid too much. These are part time jobs They have administrators that do the real work. Full time politicians spend more money to justify being full-time. All I have heard is ways to spend the 2% sales tax. The should be looking at how to operate cheaper and take less of our money.

What about government “waist” though?

Did you move your business from BR to St George? Its impossible to have been in Baton Rouge and then in St George without moving (outside of maybe the disputed annexed sections by BR which initially didn’t increase taxes to city until services made available to them, but I don’t know where those annexed areas stand legally)
The license fee schedule looks like it’s set up by the state based on amount of sales, commissions, loans/mortgages, gallons of gas sold, and so on. There are a some professions with flat rate fees.
$50 looks like it’s always lowest range starting at $0 in whatever the business is supposed to use to calculate license fee.
If yours is not a new business that was just starting with low sales or a recently purchased one towards end of the year what business area was BR actually charging the minimum required instead of charging somewhere up to the max allowed.
And Is that the same for this year with their budget shortages due to losing StG sales tax?
