Voters in East Baton Rouge Parish will decide on June 27, 2026, whether to renew property taxes for the library and senior services.
Voters in East Baton Rouge Parish will decide on June 27, 2026, in a special election whether to renew property taxes for the East Baton Rouge Library System and the Council on Aging.
The library seeks a 9.5-mill tax rate, down from 11.1 mills, to generate about $60 million annually, while the Council on Aging aims to maintain its 2-mill rate.
Both measures were previously part of the failed Thrive EBR plan but are now separate to improve approval chances.
The library’s director says the new rate ensures stability, unfreezes positions, and funds renovations, while the council highlights its senior independence programs.
The outcome will determine the future of these essential services.
