Evangeline Sheriff Asking For One Cent Tax to Fund Department
Pennies. I remember when I was a kid you could actually buy stuff with a penny. Granted you couldn t buy much but today the much-maligned penny is often thought of with such disregard that many convenience stores will give you one if you re a penny short on your purchase. That s the power of one penny but if you combine a lot of pennies, say millions of pennies then you re eventually talking about real money.
Real money is what the Sheriff s Department in Evangeline Parish needs right now and they are asking residents of that parish for a penny. Okay, it s a one-cent increase in the sales tax in the parish. Sheriff Charles Guillory is joining other business and civic leaders in Evangeline Parish to push for a one-cent sales tax to sent before the voters this spring.
