(paid advertorial) – Saturday, April 27, 2024, is election day in Jackson Parish and you will be asked to vote for the “RENEWAL” of a 2.5 mils Property Tax for the Jackson Parish Council on Aging (JPCOA). The purpose of the tax is constructing, maintaining, operating, and supporting the facilities in Jonesboro and Chatham for our elderly citizens.

This is a property tax that has been on the tax roll for years and we are asked to renew it every ten years. It is a much needed tax that allows the Jackson Parish Council on Aging to provide many needed services to our senior citizens. 

Through this funding the JPCOA provides services such as transportation to and from the doctor and the grocery store, while also bringing meals to homebound seniors and those with physical disabilities. 

It also affords the opportunity for onsite meals, exercise and entertainment to be provided at the JPCOA facilities in Jonesboro and Chatham and gives seniors the chance to meet and visit with others.

It is important that the Jackson Parish Council on Aging continue to provide services to our senior citizens. I am asking everyone that can vote in this election to join me and “VOTE YES” for the RENEWAL of this tax. We owe it to our senior citizens to provide them with the services that they need.

Remember, this is not a new tax but a RENEWAL.

VOTE YES FOR OUR SENIOR CITIZENS! 

James Bradford, Chairman
Jackson Parish Council on Aging
