Cathey -
Barrow probably has a better punch but I bet Cathey is armed.

Seems like it struck a nerve b/c she knows it isn't right. Great job by Senator Cathey for having the balls for doing something that needs to be done. I just hate he apologized!

Louisiana State Capitol
Trash breeds there.

It struck a nerve because Barrow et all have already earmarked that tax revenue for specific grifts, I’m sure.
Hard to fill a $7.5m hole in your budget overnight. Gonna get much harder when St George actually gets instated by the courts.

You should see the great job he's doing going after that evil gas station weed. I'm surprised he had time to fight this battle as well..

The fact a tax can be collected all across the state and all funding get directed to a single parish is absolutely asinine. How did this ever get approved in the first place?
South Louisiana always gets the benefits at the expense of North Louisiana, in pretty much everything in this state.

This Nola.com article from this morning gives a bit more detail on the interaction: LINK

Baton Rudge vs North Louisiana. The OT is going to be conflicted about this one.

The rest of the GOPers will back down and kill the bill.

50 years means it is likely tied to the new Louisiana constitution from the 1970s.
This tax was probably horse-traded for votes from the BR area members for something.

At that moment, Barrow, 56, said she had a flashback to when she was young and fought with others to protect her three younger siblings. Now, she was so angry at Cathey’s disrespect that she was about to charge him, fists swinging.
“What’s going on?” interjected Baton Rouge Mayor Sharon Weston Broome. “I’ve never seen anything like this. Can we have some decorum, please?”
Broome’s words calmed Barrow. Cathey walked away unscathed.

Barrow probably things “decorum” is what happens to her office when she gets paid off.

So someone calls something out that clearly doesnt make sense and is most likely some corrupt bullshite left over from days gone by and your first inclination is to insult the person?

All levels of government are flush with incompetent and corrupt trash - the dregs of our society.

Who’s bringing in a lions share of the revenue?

Exactly. She probably thinks of it as her and her ilk’s money.
