A meeting of the Bogalusa Council Finance Committee was held on May 2, 2024. Attending were Council members Mark Irvine and Gloria Kates and Mayor Tyrin Truong, Comptroller Jerry Bailey, and Perry Smalls from the Administration. Also providing input were representatives from the Police and Fire departments, Judge David Merlin Duke and other Bogalusa residents.
