Today’s Advocate reported there has been a lawsuit filed regarding the creation of the special taxing district…will be very interesting to follow how this is ultimately resolved.
this is why we can’t have nice things
who filed the lawsuit? assuming they have some kind of agenda against LSU

Daryl Glasper, former metro council member.
As mentioned, Southern’s economic development district was created exactly like LSU’s…but it’s not being challenged.

Mostly businesses.

From what I read, the special tax was not voted upon by occupants/residents in the district, nor is it clear as to who are the people that ultimately receive the tax proceeds and what/how these taxes are to be used/spent. If true, sounds like good old Louisiana politics is alive..

Serious question, who actually lives in this district. The district seems to gerrymander around residential homes, so where are these supposed people who didn't get a vote living?
ETA re-read the article and pulled this: According to the suit, as of February 2024, 125 voters were registered within the economic development district. Nine voters were registered to 3810 West Lakeshore Drive -- which is the address for the LSU Administration Building. 115 other voters were registered to LSU's campus, and one voter was registered to 3930 Burbank Drive, which is the South Gate Village strip mall next to Walk-Ons.
So it sounds like most of these voters are students/faculty that registered to vote using their on campus housing addresses

I think the statue says that it didn’t have to be put up for vote because there’s no registered voters in that area.

Big named General Contractors may or may not have been providing pricing exercises midway through the summer. This thing has real legs...it just moves slow.

Those 9 voters with the Admin building should be purged along with the strip mall as neither of those are residential addresses. The 115 voters registered on campus need to be checked to see if they’re even Louisiana residents.
