I heard something on WWI heard something on WWL that only 60% of the properties in Orleans Parish pay property taxes. I understand that churches are tax exempted but that is a law that needs to change. There is a fricking church on every corner. I think I also heard that Loyola and Tulane don't pay property taxes either - maybe someone back that claim up.
