To make sure their irresponsible budgeting gets corrected, it is up to the taxpayer to fix it. Meanwhile, their salaries go unchanged.

My life is ruined because I can't save $.03 on trapper keepers.

It's a 4% or 5% reduction that probably does more harm than good. It invetivizes irresponsible spending for a tiny discount.

This state needs to fricking revolt. I know the sales tax holiday isn’t some big deal, but it’s just one more way our “representatives” frick all of us while increasing their own cash flow.

Mississippi isn't much of a drive from here, and they're not canceling their tax holidays. I'm sure retailers over there will be glad for the added revenue.

You'd spend more money in gas than you'd save.

Stop voting for the same guys over and over again. We always complain about the legislators as a whole, but we somehow seem to exempt our own rep in the district we live in. Vote all of them out; every single incumbent needs to go. Rep and Senator.

I refuse to go shopping on the tax holidays. Places are way to crowded to justify saving $0.08 per dollar.

This shite is for poor people anyways. The only time you save a decent amount is when you’re in the thousands, and even then, it’s a few hundred. If you wait to make a $3k purchase because of $250ish in taxes, you’re poor and trashy.

hey, you had a mistype.

frick LOUISIANA and it's backwards arse poltics. from the Landrieus, to th Gravy Trains, and all the swamp people - duck dynasty loving shite hole of a state.

Born and raised NOLA, but it can all wash away for all i care. That state abhors any sort of progress and yet the same people get kept in office. That is the basic definition of insanity.

Umm, no.

If you wait a few weeks to save $250, you're smart.

If you buy something you're going to buy anyway, and you do it on a weekend that saves you 5% more, you're also smart.
