I hope you support this. We have an influx of kids in the parish and although some parka are in great shape, others are not.
I also strongly support using Lamar Dixon as a sportsplex capable of hosting a multitude of events.
Should raise property taxes by 9-15 dollars monthly.

The only issue with this tax is that it is being pitched as a way to repair and upgrade local parks, which is a noble cause that is very near and dear to most Ascension citizens, but the vast majority of the money will be spent at Lamar Dixon. If this ballot initiative fails, it will be for that reason.
However, I will probably vote for it.

Off topic, but slightly related, why is million abbreviated as MM?

As long as only folks who own property are allowed to vote on property taxes then I have no problem with this vote. To bad this is not the case, haves will be paying for the have nots.

The problem is Lamar getting most of the money being the huge money dump it's been since the purchase. If they create a sports complex out of it and make it more usable, I'd be ok with that. As it is though, the property is being underutilized.

I will be voting NO. This is not an issue for the government , if a private business wants to roll the dice and see if they can make a dollar doing this great, but this is not what I want my tax dollars going towards,

More of a reason to move out of AP. This council is more worried about catering to recreation and kids instead of dealing with real problems like drainage, roads, sewer and a school system that is on the verge of falling behind.
There answer has always been to raise taxes and deal with problems once they are major. Hwy 42 is 10 years behind the original projected start, but the recreation building in Oak Grove is on its second renovation in the same period.
Chris Loar will solve it all though. Another silver spoon jackass that has no clue what made AP the place everyone wanted to move.
