Jay Dardene was on KPEL this morning doing his damn well best to polish that turd of a tax proposal.

Moon Griffon and Co. have been saying that other states have been moving away from CAT tax, and yet our legislature is persuing it.

Yes, they do need to rewrite the constitution.

When asked about the gas taxes and why only 11 cents actually goes to roads, he seemed not even be familiar with that figure. --- a figure EVERYONE has been talking about for a long time. This is how I know JBE is trying to snow us.

I am pretty sure this has been debunked. It's simply not true.

True Story. Isn't that interesting... we are so far behind the rest of the country that ideas that have already failed in other places are just starting to get "liked" here.

The idea that every business uses public resources, so should have to pay something, is an idea that makes some sense.

The annual report is $30 for a business registered in Louisiana. Just raise that to say $250 and be done with it.

The Governor is pursuing it, not the Legislature. And yes other states are moving away from it.
