People in EBR parish
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?

I've long said that if you own property you should pay something in the way of property tax for basic services like sewer, police, and garbage pick up.
I don't have the numbers, but let everyone pay on the first 25K, 50K or whatever, and then exempt the next 75K; I'm all in for that. Too many have no skin in the game and pay nothing for that reason and keep voting for higher property taxes.
Like you said it will never pass, but we can type about it.
