At its Tuesday August 17 regular session meeting, the Bossier Parish Police Jury voted to approve the proposed Bossier Parish Police Jury Redistricting Plan.
Prior to the finale vote, Charles Gray (Dist. 9), addressed his fellow police jurors and audience.
“I would like to offer up the plan that I offered into consideration of this, due to the fact of the numbers that this plan is showing. I just don’t feel that it is a fair share of equity in my district.”
Following Gray’s remarks, Doug Rimmer (Dist. 8) said “We did consider those (as you mentioned today at the special meeting and in prior meetings) Mr. Gray. And, I think we’re well aware of your desires, comments, concerns, reservations and disagreements with the plan that the jury has proposed.”
