re: FYI, oral argument before La.SC for the St.G. case is this morning around 10/10:30 am

That is a theoretical just using random amounts.

But the big thing here is that sales taxes spent in St George aren’t being used on St George.

The argument is that “it is the whole parish shopping there, so the whole parish should benefit.” Except people from other parishes shop there too and people from St George shopping at Whole Foods or elsewhere doesn’t result in BR having to allocate their taxes to pay for St George.
