quote:

If we protect public safety from the cuts – our police and fire fighters – the budgets for all remaining City-Parish departments and agencies would need to be reduced by a minimum of 45%.”


So how much does Baker, Zachary, Central get from city parish funds for their Police/Fire departments? Why would BRPD/BRFD receive funds but not the other city departments?

They don’t. Fire districts are SUPPOSED to be separate, being funded by the people who use them.

Hence unincorporated BR, Central, Zachary, and Baker having their own fire districts.

BR proper funding BRFD out of the parish general fund is their frickup, not ours.
