The four tax propositions on the ballot in Bossier Parish raise:
• $9.5 million annually for the Bossier Parish libraries
• $6.1 million annually for the Fire and Police departments in Bossier City
• Another $1.9 million annually for the Fire and Police departments
• And $1.4 million annually for the Cypress-Black Bayou Recreation and Water Conservation District.
Questions being raised by voters include:

Why are we spending $100.000 to have a special election when we had an election a month ago and have another one in November?
1 Why isn't Cypress-Black Bayou self-sustaining from the fees it charges?
2 Why aren't police and fire department salary increases included in the property tax proposals?
3 How can the library system justify the largest portion of property taxes — by far — being renewed?

The current legislation has proposed some Bills that should be a concern for social justice advocates.

Criminal Justice Reforms:
The legislative agenda also includes significant reforms in the realm of criminal justice.

Acts such as ACT 13, which prosecutes all 17-year-olds as adults for all crimes,
and
ACT 8, which increases standard probation lengths and eliminates administrative sanctions for probation violations, signal a shift towards punitive measures over rehabilitation and second chances.

The elimination of parole and Good Time, as well as the expansion of justifiable homicide laws, reflect a tougher stance on crime and punishment.

Economic and Social Welfare:

The legislative agenda addresses economic and social welfare issues, with bills impacting marginalized communities and social safety nets.

Measures such as HB 303, which cuts SNAP benefits if a child is adjudicated for a crime,

and HB 481, which cuts federal TANF benefits for those failing a drug test,

raise questions about the state’s commitment to supporting vulnerable populations.

The prioritization of corporate interests over public welfare, as seen in decisions regarding insurance regulations and federal funding for children’s food programs, raises questions about political priorities.

Education:
Bills like HB 71 and HB 745, mandating the posting of the Ten Commandments in schools and expanding voucher funding for private/religious/charter schools, highlight a push towards ideological agendas in education.

The implications of these measures on the separation of church and state and the quality of public education merit further examination.

Do you understand why every VOTE is important!?
