CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLANOn November 14, 2009, the citizens in the special taxing district of East Baton Rouge Parish will vote on a capital improvements plan to address infrastructure needs for public safety and the protection of property, drainage improvement, and economic development and job creation. The capital improvements will be financed through a series of bond issues supported by a One-half of One Percent (1/2%) Sales & Use Tax and a 9.9-mill property tax authorized to be levied and collected, subject to voter approval, by the Parish of East Baton Rouge Capital Improvements District, a parishwide taxing district.

Early voting for the November 14th bond proposition began last Saturday, and will continue through this Saturday (Nov. 7).

If you are downtown, it's really easy, just walk to the second floor of City Hall, 222 St. Louis Street (also home to the 19th JDC) and follow the signs to "early voting." You can also vote early at these locations:

Southeast Office: Court Plaza Building – 10500 Coursey Blvd Rm 203
