BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Ascension Parish residents voted against removing a salary restriction for local officials from the parish’s governing rules. The Parishwide Home Rule Charter Amendment Proposition would delete the following 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 this proposition had been approved, it would've eliminated the salary cap for local governing authority members. The proposition does not specify what, if anything, will replace the deleted language.
