People in EBR parish would disagree, we have repeatedly voted for higher property taxes for schools, parks, libraries, old folks, and buses.

Personally I'd like a homestead exemption reform as well as closer scrutiny of assessor.

There is your problem right there. you have a bunch of people who do not pay into the system....but do own homes. I don't know how EBR assess the property for tax purposes, but if it is anything like how Chehardy in Jefferson used to do it, most people paid minimal amounts on their property taxes relative to what the appraised value was based on the market. I'm sure the people in Old Metairie would disagree with me on that one though.

I wonder what would happen to a politician who actually floated out the idea of amending the state constitution to change the homestead exemption from your first 75K to your 2nd 75K?
