Administrators and staff of the Jackson Parish Council on Aging (JPCOA)  in Jonesboro and Chatham Senior Mealsite locations are breathing a little easier now as Jackson Parish voters overwhelmingly renewed the 2.5 millage that was on the April 27th ballots. The renewal option that is for a period of 10 years was needed for maintaining, improving, operating and supporting facilities and programs for the elderly in Jackson Parish . While the turnout was a very light 10.4% of voters, 765 cast their ballot to renew the millage while 243 voted against it, providing a 76% – 24% margin of approval.
