Baton Rouge-Mayor-President Sid Edwards on Tuesday have set out plans on how he will spend money currently spent on parish libraries, saying that he will spend money on infrastructure, public safety and a reduction in Blight.
Edwards called his project “revives”. He said that the money that is currently going to the parish library in East Baton Rouge will be better used by adhering to some of the “most pressing challenges of the city-monetary”.
“This is a major moment for Baton Rouge,” Edwards said in remarks prepared for delivery at a press conference. “Using more efficiently existing resources, we can deal with long -standing problems without putting additional weight on taxpayers.”

Edwards said we need to turn to public safety because “the dead can’t read books.”
The patrons of the library were worried by the plan of the new mayor-president. This year is due to the special tax on the ownership of the library for renewal this year.
Her leaders were hoping to meet the mayor for the way forward, which could be beneficial for both the library and meet urban norms. It was unclear whether Edwards rejected the library’s details.
According to the mayor-presidential plan, Revive EBR will turn to
-Daranage and infrastructure
-Community implementation, police office and violence programs
-Fluction Access to Mental Health Services
-Sephat “Community Programs”
-Daders hurts and improve public spaces.
