This law was slipped into effect with the state sales tax increase.You will now pay state sales tax- and n colleges, universities and even your kids events!
If you sell a ticket it will be taxed
Looks like it may include concessions as well

Why are people shocked about this? He clearly said he was going to raise taxes.
Guess we just could not vote for a guy who banged hookers.

Honestly, why shouldn't it be? It is an event you are buying, particularly concessions. If you bought it on premium cable TV you'd be paying taxes on it. I know you pay sales tax on shirts and gear sold in the stadium. I'd be surprised if concessions didn't already have tax built in.

What else can he do?
Apparently there is not a single penny that can be cut from our budget.

Most stadiums didn't... so i hope everyone who voted for him keep their mouths shut when concession, parking, etc. prices go up

Can you link the new state law?
Dems are usually very anti-sales tax increases. Not sure how to judge JBE on these issues given the state budget issues. I'm all for huge cuts on entitlements, but that is a long term solution when the state appears to have a huge problem in the short term too.
We need to get rid of the state's tax break on the first 3 years of natural gas extraction.

You do realize we weren't getting out of this financial mess with tax cuts alone right?
Taxes were going to be raised no matter who was in office.

Are you sure that applies to LSU, they are a self generated athletic department?
Concessions wise, would be different as that is an outside company that runs that.

So now the IRS is going to potentially investigate the taxes paid by volunteer organizations like you local playground booster club?
IF this law has that kind of reach, that is dumb.
The bottom line is that governments need to understand that making more is not always the best way to proceed. Sometimes spending less is a better way.

He's a democrat. All they know is to raise taxes and increase power/control. He has to raise money to support his worthless voter base.

Louisiana already has a huge poverty problem and you want to exacerbate it?

Some people actually don't realize this. Because the state doesn't have a diversified economy we have all our eggs in basically two baskets, the oil and gas industry and tourism. Oil and gas tanked and crippled LA's economy.

I still haven't seen where this applies to LSU - and the revenue bulletin only was issued to local school boards. I'm looking for the acutal law right now.
