Louisiana amendments

Screw boomers and their property tax breaks. They shouldn’t get special treatment.

Why can’t this worthless state index the homestead exemption to inflation. It was set at $75,000 in 1974 and has not been adjusted since then

That $75,000 homestead exemption depends on where you live and who your assessor is. Lots of people living in $250,000 homes still paying zero taxes on them. Just Louisiana politics!

1. No
2. No
3. Yes
4. Yes
5. No (On the fence but lean No. I worry that this would encourage the State to take on bad debt now and justify it as "we'll just pay that off first".)
6. No
7. Yes
8. No (It's already a law and doesn't need to be in the constitution.)
9. No
10. No (Sounds good, won't work. This is just asking for fraud and abuse.)

The State needs a simplified tax code, and continuously carving out exemptions just further muddies that. I'm also against adding things to the constitution that are either already effectively a law and/or simply don't need to be added to LA's already overstuffed constitution.

i would think 5 is a yes, but i'm a fan of the debt avalanche method of paying off debt. i think giving them that flexibility to choose which debt to clear is a good thing.

I haven't read them. I just wait till Gary Chambers posts his endorsements and then just vote the opposite.

Say what?!

I'm against any millage increases, new taxes, or anything that will create more government.

And why do state employees still get a pension?
No companies offer pensions anymore b/c they are not economically feasible.

This is so true. Politicians are some sneaky mother frickers. And they use big words and confusing semantics to confuse the average voter.
