BB notes strong start of new fiscal year

Breaux Bridge – The Breaux Bridge Board of Aldermen’s August gathering proved to be both brief and eventful, consisting of not one but two consecutive meetings. Following the City Council’s regular session, the Board of Adjustment convened immediately after to address a separate matter.

During the City Council meeting, Mayor Ricky Calais presented the first financial report of the new fiscal year, noting a strong start. July sales tax collections totaled $61,677, exceeding budgeted expectations.

“That gives us a good start to the new fiscal year,” Calais said.
