Plaquemines Parish Residents - May 3 Please go vote (insane sales and use tax)

Plaquemines Sheriff Gerald Turlich, Jr. wants a new sales tax that could give the Sheriff $32 Million per year! Initial tax at .25 percent but he would be authorized to raise it to a full 1 percent after only a year. Who thinks that won't happen?

Claims it is for pay raises but that amount would result in a pay increase to all employees of about $380,000 per year. Receptionist is a nice gig if you can get it, eh?

The tax has no expiration term and would be perpetual (forever, duh). Your children and grandchildren will spit on your grave if you leave this to them. Of course, the sheriff's employees and simpletons are "supporting the PPSO". Best get your butts out to vote "No".
