A total of 68% of voters said yes to the 1% sales tax renewal
The special election held earlier today decided the fate of a 1% sales tax that has been in place for over 50 years in Opelousas.
The 1% sales tax will provide the city with just under $6 million a year and go towards road work, infrastructure repair and also the salaries of city workers, including first responders.
City officials have warned residents that the loss of that revenue could have resulted in many of these employees having to lose their jobs.
With the result of this special election, the impact of this decision remains to be seen.
