Zachary DOES NOT consider its senior citizens in its government. The senior families are taxed high for their education programs with no consideration of the fact that they are surviving on small fixed incomes. The city DOESN'T tax, the school board does the taxing. That leaves city government with, we didn't set the tax. Meanwhile the good school system is on the backs of the poor and low income more than the more wealthy that live in this bedroom community making much higher incomes.

Some things that I admire about Zachary is how strong of a community it is and how supportive the community is towards that Zachary Community School District. Ever since I have lived there, I have watched their school district expand to build new schools and as well as more apartments and neighborhoods for people to live in. Some things I would like to see change are the restaurants and events being lead by Zachary leaders. I believe Zachary has the potential to be a growing city with open minded people to lead the way.
I love living in Zachary. It's a place where it's citizens really look out for each other. When someone is in need, another fulfills that need. We have the top performing schools in the entire state for many years now. Our community cares about our kids. We want them to succeed and are given the tools to do so. The Zachary Police Chief believes in second chances when it comes to our youth. I was born in a hospital in Zachary and my family has lived in Zachary for generations.
