Read the bill which is linked in the Advocate's article.
It specifically says the local sales tax portion will continue to be collected and an additional amount of up to 2% will be authorized for a transition period up to 4 years.
The Advocate's article estimates the increase will generate $28 million in funding. If there was no increase why would it be necessary to mention $28 million in temporary revenues for the transition period?

No way people are going to vote in an 11% sales tax.
We all know that isn't happening.
I'm betting its just the mechanism for SG to begin collecting sales taxes themselves and it will be in place of the parish tax and not an add on.
If I'm wrong I'm wrong but that's the only thing that makes sense.
