Bill Freezing School Limits Is Introduced
A late introduced Senate bill by Sen. Jamar Adcock of Monroe would freeze school tax boundaries between the City of Monroe and Ouachita Parish School Systems. The measure, filed after the deadline, drew opposition from Sen. George Tessier of New Orleans and support from Sen. Charles Brown of Tallulah who linked it to a 43 man reapportionment plan. Brown pressed Adcock for assurances as to passage, while Adcock claimed the move would help resolve a political problem.
