Sheriff Pohlmann endorses a proposition to renew a tax millage supporting the parish Council on Aging on the Nov. 21 election ballot; No new taxes involved

Sheriff James Pohlmann said he endorses a proposition to renew a tax millage supporting the parish Council on Aging on the Nov. 21 election ballot and urges voters to approve it for continued help for St. Bernard Parish seniors.

No new taxes are involved if you renew the millage, the sheriff said.

“As Sheriff of St. Bernard Parish I have seen firsthand the important role the Council on Aging plays in enhancing the quality of life of our senior citizens,’’ Sheriff Pohlmann said.

“That includes providing hundreds of weekly meals to their homes as well as hosting numerous creative activities to engage and entertain our senior citizens in a warm and caring environment.”

Sheriff Pohlmann said, “On Nov. 21, there will be an election to renew the millage which supports the Council on Aging. This is only a renewal and no new taxes will be added to your assessments.

“I urge you to vote FOR the proposition to re-new the millage for the Council on Aging so it can continue to assist and serve the elderly of our parish,’’ Sheriff Pohlmann said.
