Your math is wrong. It's 9 - 0 + 2 = 11.

So, you are still claiming an 11% tax rate?

I cannot believe you are still spouting this ignorant bullshite. Do you understand the meaning of the word UNTIL?

Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, upon incorporation of St. George, the parish may continue to levy and collect the parish tax within the corporate limits of the municipality, pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement between the parish and municipality, for the purposes of providing continuing, through calendar year 2018, pro-rata funding of parish expenses for constitutional public offices and officials required by law and providing essential public services to, or funding essential public services for, the citizens within St. George until the St. George Transition District levies and collects a two percent sales and use tax, the municipality levies and collects a two percent sales and use tax, the end of the quarter following the election to impose the municipal tax if the proposition is not approved by the electorate, or twelve months after the incorporation becomes final, whichever occurs first.

If you cannot understand the meaning of the term UNTIL in this legislation, then you are a certifiable moron.

Your idiotic call for the legislation to include a "9% clause" is another clear indication that you do not have the mental clarity to understand the process of drafting legislation.

And as I posted on page 2 of your embarrassing thread, the legislation also makes it clear that there can be no overlap of the 2% municipal tax. It simply outlines that the authority lies first with the parish, which must surrender that taxing authority to the transition district, which must then surrender that taxing authority to the new city of St. George.

Since there is absolutely no justification for your 11% claim in the legislation, are your basing that ludicrous statement on your clairvoyant powers, the ones that let you listen in on Bodi White's brainwaves?
