Dear Mayor-President Edwards,

As we get closer to the deadline for the approval of the 2026 budget, we, the undersigned, would like to address two points within the upcoming budget discussions. First, we stand with the Emergency Medical Service (EMS) workers of Baton Rouge who are concerned about the merger between the fire department and EMS. We believe their job security, wages, and benefits should be given precedence over budgetary decisions that can be promoted as saving taxpayers money, but would infringe upon their conditions as workers. Second, we believe, more generally, that a more robust social safety net can be created in Baton Rouge.
