Three Tax Renewals Pass

By  | 

    Last Saturday, all three tax renewals on the ballot passed.  Each of the three taxes are 10-year renewals of existing property taxes.  Your current millage rates will remain the same.  The taxes support EBR EMS (passed 81.24% to 18.76%), EBR Sheriff (passed 78.52% to 21.48%), and Central Fire Protection District #6 (passed 84.6% to 15.4%).  Voter turnout for this election was very low, with a little over 6% voting in the two parish-wide votes, and 9.8% for the Central Fire Protection District vote.
