How can the community participate in Metro Council meetings?

"Public hearings" give the community a chance to speak on topics they feel strongly about. Public hearings are held on all sorts of issues, including road projects, appropriating money and levying taxes.

Everyone who  concerned from the Public is invited to share their concerns at this meeting.

Please also, call, fax, or e-mail your Baton Rouge Council member on this, tell them you oppose reducing the controls over alcohol in Baton Rouge, and that we must first address the current Alcohol related harm to consider expanding or loosening of the alcohol control laws.
