West Monroe proposes Ouachita Parish split into two
Monroe Mayor Ralph Troy says he sees no reason to object to the plan but questions the cost and effect on revenue sharing sheriff departments and parish offices. West Monroe Mayor Hatten estimates 8 to 10 million dollars to establish separate west side facilities and governance. A legislative study is underway at the request of state Sen. Billy Brown and Rep. Shady Wall as the move draws racial and political controversy.
