Louisiana Bond Commission OKs 3 East Baton Rouge tax plan ballot measures

BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — The Baton Rouge mayor’s office announced that the Louisiana State Bond Commission approved three ballot measures that are part of his tax plan.

In May, the Metro Council approved a majority of Mayor-President Sid Edwards’ Thrive EBR plan to rededicate taxes. Edwards’ office said the plan proposes the renewal and rededication of portions of existing millages from the library system, Council on Aging and Mosquito Abatement and Rodent Control.

The plan aims to address the budget while maintaining critical services and reducing debt without increasing taxes. 

“I’m pleased the State Bond Commission approved our request,” Edwards said. “Now it’s up to the voters to decide. Thrive EBR is a smart way to help fund our infrastructure and pay down debt at no additional cost to taxpayers.”

Voters will see three ballot measures in the election set for Nov. 15.
