## Resource

St. Tammany Parish voters face a pivotal decision this Saturday: approve a renewed tax measure to fund 140 sheriff’s deputies, amid a backdrop of recent political turmoil and economic strain. With the former sheriff recently convicted and other tax proposals rejected, leaders are urging voters to support the deputies—calling them essential public servants—while analysts note voter hesitation due to rising costs and crime perceptions. Low turnout could sway results, and many residents remain unaware of the vote. Stay informed: polling locations are on the Secretary of State’s website.
