How many of you have calculated the impact if Amendment 3 passes? I did a calculation for the company I work for. Based on about 1.5M of Federal taxable income, there would be a 31% increase in state taxes if passed. Would love to hear if there are any examples of a decrease in tax under the proposal.

if that amendment gets passed, the voting is surely rigged

I'm voting no on all of the amendments except for the tuition amendment.

These amendments are uniformly awfully written. What percentage of voters will even be able to parse this:

quote:

Do you support an amendment to provide that the manner of appointment for the registrar of voters in each parish is as provided by law and to require the qualifications of the registrar to be provided by law?


Much less know what a registrar does.

Did a rough estimate for us...increase would be somewhere in the upper 30's.

You would have to have a significantly different federal taxable income from LA taxable income (like because of use of NOLs or certain deductions).

Has anyone heard of any reason why this would be proposed as a constitutional amendment rather than a statute, other than the typical reason that the legislators don't want to risk taking a vote on anything? I'm not necessarily opposed to it in principle, but I really have a problem with setting the tax rate through a constitutional amendment.

I voted No for all the amendments.


I also vote No for every Brec or Public transportation amendment even if for renewal. It usually passes anyway but not because of my vote.

BREC gets WAY to much money now for what we get as a community and no reason for me to fund a public transportation system I never use. Let it fund itself and if it can't then so be it.
