mayor

Almost a year after the suburb was incorporated into a city, voters in St. George elected their first leaders on Saturday. Residents also voted against adopting a home rule charter, which would have established the city’s governing structure.

The two candidates made their final case to voters ahead of Saturday's runoff in Baton Rouge.

Many departments will see cuts, though employees will receive 2.5% raises.

Five candidates running for mayor-president of East Baton Rouge Parish debated for nearly two hours on Tuesday night.
