    The City of Baton Rouge and Parish of East Baton Rouge operate under a consolidated government structure established in 1947 and further consolidated in 1982 when the City and Parish Councils merged into a single Metropolitan Council. The Mayor-President serves as both Mayor of the City and Parish President, setting the government's agenda and managing day-to-day operations through appointed department heads, while the Metropolitan Council—composed of 12 Council Districts—holds responsibility for setting policy and approving municipal spending. The consolidated structure is designed to eliminate duplication of services, increase efficiency, and reduce costs across the metropolitan area.

  • IRA Information Handouts

    Scranton, PA
    Other

    This informational handout introduces Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)-eligible electric household appliances designed to reduce energy consumption and costs. Heat pumps are presented as 3-5 times more efficient than fossil-fuel-based systems, with costs ranging from $500-$40,000 including installation, and capable of maintaining home heating in temperatures below -20°F in cold climates. Electric and induction stoves are described as more energy-efficient alternatives that do not require gas hookups or burn fossil fuels. The document advises that whole-home electrification may require electrical panel upgrades or smart panels depending on home size and needs, with electrical wiring modifications potentially necessary for appliances requiring 240-volt outlets.
