SUMMARY: Bossier City residents gathered for an Election Day council meeting to challenge a proposed ordinance for a new city charter set for the March ballot. This ordinance had previously faced deferral by the Louisiana Bond Commission due to concerns about it overshadowing a more popular charter petition.

The council also voted to approve the 2025 budget amid criticism about its spending priorities.
