PORT ALLEN — West Baton Rouge Parish voters rejected a set of separate property taxes that would have continued to benefit the local library system and parish drainage works.

The renewal of a 7.2-mill property tax for drainage would have raised around $5.9 million a year and would have been used for maintenance, operations and construction costs, if needed.

The library has 4.1-mill property tax that would have raised $3.362 million a year if it had been approved.

The only other issues of the parish ballot were four proposed constitutional amendments.
