Thrive EBR: A Vote for Baton Rouge’s Future

On November 15th, East Baton Rouge Parish voters will face three key propositions that make up the Thrive EBR initiative—though you won’t see “Thrive” on the ballot. Joining the show to discuss this in further detail is Don Luther from the EBR Library Board to break down Proposition #1, which reallocates existing library millage to help the city parish tackle debt and unlock $19 million annually for vital services like stormwater management. It’s not a new tax, but a strategic renewal that supports both the library and broader community needs. Early voting runs November 1–8. Tune in to learn why a “yes” vote matters for Baton Rouge’s future.
