Calcasieu Parish officials are encouraging voters to renew the Burton Coliseum and Agricultural Services property tax on Saturday because it helps maintain several important and widely-used facilities.

The parishwide tax, if renewed, would remain at its existing rate of 1.5 mills and be in place for 10 years, starting Jan. 1, 2023. Voters initially approved the tax in 1993 and renewed it in 2003 and 2012. The 2012 renewal received a 68 percent approval.
