BATON ROUGE - A proposal to reallocate parish money from some departments toward fixing drainage shortfalls was shot down Wednesday.
After the major flood in May, Metro Councilmember Dwight Hudson proposed the item to create more funding for drainage improvements by re-routing tax dollars from other departments, namely the libraries. Which would cut their yearly budget by 10%. The rest would have been redirected from mosquito abatement and rodent control.
There were many in attendance opposing the item speaking about the importance of it to the community and the fact the citizens voted for those funds to be dedicated to the library in 2015.
