quote:

Downtown nightclub owner John Delgado owes the city-parish an estimated $30,000 in back taxes for his three Third Street bars—Draft House Bar, Huey’s Bar and 1913.

quote:

The former Metro Council member confirms he is behind on his city-parish sales taxes but says he’s confident he will be able to pay the debt off before the end of the year. If not, he faces revocation of his liquor license.

quote:

Delgado is also behind on his state sales taxes

quote:

Delgado blames the delinquency—which he estimates totals around $30,000, most of which he says is interest and penalties—on a couple of factors: sluggish summer sales, particularly on Third Street downtown, and market oversaturation.

A politician from Louisiana is crooked? Shocked, I tell you. Absolutely shocked.

Jesus. We better have a stronger candidate for mayor next election than Delgado or Bodi. Either way, we're still likely facing another round of SWB unless we can get her arse jailed.

Crooked? Because he can't pay? If he doesn't have the money what should he do?

The operatives words are “Sales taxes”... if there weren’t sales being made, there wouldn’t be taxes to pay on them.

Imagine how bad that would look if he were Mayor right now.

Wow, here I was thinking his little fireside chats with Gravy were his political low point....well, aside from literally getting caught with his pants down.

Was never his money. He stole from taxpayers to pay his other bills

Kip is going to pull his dick out and mushroom stamp the other candidates if he runs, electorally speaking.

Estimated taxes by a tax collector?

That probably means when all is said and done the tax collector might owe him 5k.

The market is not over saturated, there just aren't enough residents and tourists in downtown Baton Rouge for "tag along" style bars to win.

Choose to compete with the rest of Baton Rouge instead of just downtown and I think you'd be fine. Build Draft House to compete with the Bulldog and not just be a beer bar that has 10% more taps than Happy's (if they choose to stay stocked up). Build Huey's to compete with Olive-or-Twist and not just a random cocktail bar.

Oh, this also means hire a qualified staff. Happy's took the market on using scantily clad girls as the sole bar staff, so you probably can't do that.
