Anywho

Yeah

But I doubt this is the end of the legal fight. There was a rush of businesses on the fringe of the proposed city limits to be incorporated into Baton Rouge when the vote passed. Under Louisiana law, anyone living in a proposed city can contest incorporation. Kinda a bad look when your entire business community wants out

Even though they're both rural backwaters

Like Zachary and Central is EXPENSIVE AS FUCK to live in

Those other three school districts raise money to pay for that shti through taxes lol

EBR schools are basically ONLY in the city of Baton Rouge or in the unincorporated parts of the parish

"We win 3-3 against coventry because the striker does not cut his toenail and Andy Cole and Sir Alex are on VAR"

We have 4 school districts presently: East Baton Rouge, Baker, Zachary and Central. The first is the parish, the rest are cities

City specific taxes lol

How do the other towns pay for a school district?

Because they were literally like "We want our own school district so we're going to form our own city but we're not creating any taxes specific to said city."

This is why the parish president was fighting it

One would have to be created

There is no school district

How would that work? Our county changes the mill rate based on which school district you are in. Would it be similar?

Which makes their whole "we're doing this because we want our own school district" argument fall apart

or maybe I'm a dumbass

i'm ngl

They claim they can operate with no city specific taxes

American politics are really complicated

Only the parish sales tax

So no sales tax then?

Ours is by County

Wait that's probably by parish.

These people are claiming they will raise no new taxes in what will become Louisiana’s sixth biggest city

So no new taxes or no raising taxes at all?
