BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Voters in Ascension Parish will head to the polls on Saturday, March 29 to decide whether to remove a salary restriction for local officials from the parish’s governing rules. The Parishwide Home Rule Charter Amendment Proposition would delete the followi ng language from the rules that govern the parish:“Governing Authority members shall receive an annual salary not to exceed the maximum amount allowed for police jurors by state law.” If approved, this change would eliminate the salary cap for local governing authority members. The proposition does not specify what, if anything, will replace the deleted language.
