Red Stick Rising’s Baton Rouge Scoreboard
A data-driven civic case for structural reform in Baton Rouge, combining local benchmarks, proposed responsibilities, funding ideas, and a ten-year roadmap.
Field notes
The project organizes its argument as a sequence of public sections: baseline data, reform responsibilities, funding, a roadmap, and a scoreboard. Its comparison set includes U.S. benchmarks and high-performing inland peer metros, while the fiscal section attributes roughly $50 million in two-year revenue loss to the St. George split. The page also links readers toward a council calendar and provides a prompt for drafting an email, indicating an intended path from reading to local participation.
