[StBernard] Hospital tax passes in St. Bernard Parish

[Westley Annis]

Out here, there are special taxing districts for just about everything.

One of the problems is that the parish is so long, geographically, that the
north doesn't like the central doesn't like the south. So, to "ensure" that
tax monies collected for roads in the north, was only spent on roads in the
north, a special tax district was created.

It's all a big mess and waste of money. Too many fiefdoms and a
parish-council system that is still trying to act like a police jury almost
50 years after they switched.

St. Bernard politics has nothing on Lafourche.

Sorry my friend!  I knew you were over in cane country somewhere there!

When I did "teh google" I saw there were a bunch of those districts.  It
seems they
are popular in the state for whatever reasons.  I'm sure the idea of doing
the hospital
district was done for the right reason.  Whether it stays that way...who
knows.  We are
dealing with SBP here and all that that entrails!
