Does anyone know where this tax goes and who spends it?
This is something decades overdue with citizens demanding answers or burning down the capital down about, but they won’t because they’re just pussies. They’ll either redneck bitch or just move out of the state.
The redneck idiots that stay will claim “it’s like this everywhere”. It’s not.

Didn’t they say the arena would be all privately funded?
Take it with a grain of salt, but I heard that Shaq was going to fund the majority of it.

WTF could be the point of that? There doesn’t seem to be enough tax base in that locale to make a difference to a city the size of Baton Rouge
Same reason they set up checkpoints around LSU and not in the ghetto areas.
College kids have parents money to spend. Parents will pay bail and fines, etc.
And to get the people just coming for the LSU games that don’t live in Baton Rouge.

Not really.
LSU’s Billion-Dollar Brand vs. a $30 Million Hole
quote:
LSU Athletics closed Fiscal Year 2025 with $223.4 million in revenue and a slender $3.8 million surplus — football’s record $66.8 million profit carrying the load.
One year later, a $25–$35 million deficit looms, fueled by revenue sharing, a $54 million coaching buyout, and a new $91 million contract.
New Athletic Director Verge Ausberry calls the model “broken” and “not sustainable. Not at all.”

That’s higher than what we pay normally in EBR.
It’s all because of the new tax district set up around LSU.
Move the Box to St George or Ascension.

Imagine taking 10% of every sales transaction in a city.
That’s a rational ratio, if one accepts the premise of taxation.

Lafayette did this too. The downtown district was drawn with holes in it in order to avoid a vote by the taxpayers.
The only way to prevent corruption is to limit the size and power of government.
