Parish road tax renewal passes

With less than 4 percent of the registered voters casting ballots, a 3.18-mill tax to maintain parish roads was passed on Saturday.
Complete but unofficial returns indicate the renewal was approved by a vote of 952 to 527, or 64% to 36%.
The tax is expected to raise about $1.4 million annually for 10 years, from 2022 through 2031, “for the purpose of constructing and maintaining roads and bridges in the parish.”
