What benefits does the SG area and its citizens get in return for their tax dollars now going to the city/parish government?

How much of the proposed budget would be made up by way of not sending the taxes to the city anymore?

I believed he asked the question, as in questions he would like answered, but factor that you may not be considering.
You seem to have done some homework on the issue, but your research seems biased against SG. It does not seem objective at all. I have yet to hear you come up with 1 positive for SG. That right there might tell you something.

StG effectively has taxation without representation in the current scenario. It's incredibly frustrating. The disparity between %of tax dollars paid and % of benefits is great. Simple things like # of libraries and parks are a microcosm of the problem. 2 of EBR's 20 libraries are in STG, but it represents somewhere between 62and 73% of the revenue depending on what source you look at.

Did you in your trained analysis give a break down of where the moneys in each example are being spent and generated? The cost of a policeman will be offset by the elimination of money to the sheriffs office at present. The cost of fire protection is already a burden dealt with internally by the area. What ever improvements are needed can be dealt with easily enough issuance of bonds to mitigate the one time investments needed.
