Confirmed
I wasn't trolling. You said if the project went somewhere else the parish wouldnt get any tax, I think we can all agree on this without it being said.

How much money do you think these temporary workers are dropping in Cameron and Calcasieu Parish?

So are you now agreeing that ITEPs are beneficial in both the short term and long term benefit for the area?

Neither of these parishes collect sales tax on groceries or drugs. This limits the sales tax revenue to primarily gasoline, alcohol and tobacco. Also, I bet these temporary workers like to bunk together to save money.

It’s not hard to figure out: rent, utilities, gas, food, etc.
That’s just the necessities. Now throw in that many only go home once a month, then you have entertainment, restaurants, bars, shopping.
RV spots are about $500/month. 3 bed homes in Cameron will rent for between $2-3k a month
Let’s just be super conservative here and say the avg anyone spends in a month locally is $500 x 5000 workers (half the actual at peak) and that’s $2.5M per month. Comes out to over $100k per month in sales tax that wouldn’t be there otherwise

You will absolutely have 3 people in a 3 bedroom house. Still paying $750-$1000 in rent to the landlord

the cities do though on groceries and on plenty of other things
and i doubt many will be buying drugs, these guys are tested pretty often.
Whats your opinion on ITEP?

They are conveniently ignoring this question

I can 100% see local support. At the minimum this breeds opportunity for the area.
I know most of you dont care but there are definitely environmental concerns. One mistake could wipe out the entire lot come year 8, 9, 10.
My last question is regarding the property before the exemption was issued. Who was paying the property tax prior?

You really think tax on these items is going to put a dent in your budgeted costs for the parishes? LOL

The property owner. Since it’s undeveloped land, they are only paying the property tax on the value of the land. After the exemption is over, the company is paying for the value of the property after all the upgrades

no most of us live here and are avid outdoorsman...despite what you think, most of us care dearly about the environmental concerns
but with LNG much less concerns than others
and with anything there are concerns. we didnt build our current modern lifestyle on fairy dust and not taking chances.
but we also have extreme safety and environmental protocols in place to prevent these types of accidents. never been an incident in the US that wiped a whole LNG plant off for good, even freeport opened back up after like 8-9 months

Prescribed medication, not street drugs.

So now you are back to telling everyone how much you know and not just trying to learn about this?
Just go ahead and tell us what liberal group you work for since you've now brought "environmental" concerns into the discussion.

ummm yea
calc parish only has 200k residents so even a 5% bump is big
cameron only has like 5k, so talking doubling/tripling the amount
for being in finance, you sure are being dense
