[quote]Everyone who moved into the unincorporated areas did so KNOWING they weren't in Baton Rouge to avoid the higher taxes in the city limits.[/quote]

[quote]My understanding is that the money for St. George policing essentially stays the same because it won’t have its own police department and will rely on EBRSO. Which it was already paying for.
