What 2% added to sales tax? Like 2 cents each dollar?

They are not talking about if you to rouses on airline you get extra 2% tax. Instead what they mean is if you buy a beer in the new arena you get the 2%. Similar to hotel tax. I accept this. Tax those using it.

Side thought. A couple years ago Nola had a vote up to increase taxes on hotels, conferences etc. that’s all people read and voted it down. However if you read the whole bill what they were trying to do is decrease local residents taxes and pass the buck to tourist. AND the people of New Orleans essentially voted to just keep paying the taxes themselves. Ha. So $&@:;($ stupid
