Most people in East Baton Rouge Parish believe that BREC does a pretty good job of providing recreational activities, says Business Report Executive Editor JR Ball. “Since BREC is one of the very few government entities that actually earns high marks from the general public, it seems strange that Metro Councilman Scott Wilson, and a cadre of council cohorts, believe there’s something rotten at BREC,” Ball says. Wilson is proposing a measure to expand the BREC board by three members, giving specific representation to the cities of Baker, Central and Zachary. The Metro Council is set to vote on that plan tonight and, if approved, it is scheduled to go before voters in the fall. Read Ball’s column here. Send comments to editors@businessreport.com.
