Jackson Parish voters were in the same accord as the rest of the state of Louisiana as they resoundly said NO to the four proposed constitutional amendments that were being proposed on Saturday, March 29th. Also failing locally was the request to continue the PW Law Enforcement District Millage for the Jackson Parish Sheriff’s Office for the next ten years. 

According to the GeauxVote.com portal of the Louisiana Secretary of State Office, roughly 25% of voters registered in Jackson Parish went to the polls with the final tabulations from all 31 precincts reporting being…..
