a 50% sales tax for 7 yearsmdash;aimed at acquiring, constructing, improving, maintaining, supporting and operating recreational parks, facilities, equipment, programs and servicesmdash;will not be put into place.Voting maps show that residents in the town of St. Francisville did not vote on the proposition.nbsp;Parish President Kenny Havard said the West Feliciana Parish Council will have to decide if the proposition will go back to voters.nbsp;The item is not currently on the agenda for Monday night's meeting, but will likely be discussed, Havard said.nbsp;Permalink| Comments
