This isn't a "post your candidate and why you're supporting him" thread. Its about Rispone, and his answers, which were a mixed bag.

La. has opened the door for medical MJ which I supported. It has gotten off to a slow start.
Look at Colorado, a state more populated than La. for reference.
2017 total sales 1.5 Billion (RO)
2018 approx same rate.
2017 just retail was 1.09B
2017 medical was 416M
So we are off and running albeit slowly.
In 2017 247 million in taxes were realized by the state.

If your opposition to Rispone is based on his stands on these issues you owe the thread an alternative.

If only there was something that would 1) increase state revenue (but only by those who choose to partake) and 2) dramatically cut criminal justice costs.

I'm not opposed to ITEP, I just think there needs to be more light on the process. Besides the revenue "in play" is local revenue, and not state revenue.
This is my problem with ITEP as it was. I get the argument of increased value down the road. I get the idea of a break now. However, that break should be granted by the local governments who are involved in property taxes.
By the way, it's not just ITEP. Since the State of Louisiana receives absolutely zero dollars in property tax revenue, the State of Louisiana should have absolutely zero say on any exemptions, and really, shouldn't have much if any say on any rules or laws regarding same.

All of that is true BUT the state should exempt inventory all together given the manufacturing and trade nature of our economy.
Inventory exemption should be a part of the property tax reform I posted earlier.

Imagine this----Louisiana becomes an all voucher education state. You can tell these companies their employees can pick and choose their own schools.
Charter schools are doing a lot more to improve education in LA than vouchers are.
A decision to go to all-vouchers basically means you are privatizing the entire public school system.
It's well documented that the best private schools don't take vouchers, and the ones that do, generally are no better, and sometimes worse, than the public schools.
I'd be fine making all public schools charter schools. Orleans will soon become the first all-charter school district in the country. We are about to get a real-life example of this.

In theory, I agree that ITEP (and homestead) should be up to the locals.
In practice far too many local governments are run by thundering morons.

Oh and thanks to the OP for the inside scoop!
Posted on 1/9/19 at 12:41 pm to dixiechick
Nope. He is not a man consumed with political ambition.
Nothing Jindal ever actually championed seriously were as revoluntary and as good for Louisiana citizens as the positions Rispone has adopted.

You get more money than you would have otherwise had you not given the "ITEP". It usually pays for itself in year one and sunsets in just 10 years.
In what way?
Most local governments have sales taxes and property taxes. If the property taxes aren't going to go up, that means you are banking on increases in sales taxes.
Most plants aren't paying sales taxes on their materials. So, all you really have, again, where the local government is concerned, is that maybe the employees will eat lunch out at local restaurants, and maybe stop at the grocery on the way home. And a lot of that has to do with the size of the workforce, size of the town, location of the plant, etc.

Time to play the Jindal card I see.
I watched Eddie's intro of Jindal and it brought back good memories of what Jindal did before he lost focus on La.
Thxs for the reminder, and fwiw I like Eddie's policies.

And where have I stated that I oppose him? I think he gave some bad answers. I am nowhere near ready to actually pick a candidate. I'm also not a complete idiot, so any one single issue is highly unlikely to determine my political preferences.
Lack of a better answer from a different candidate doesn't mean that Rispone's answer wasn't bad.

I didn’t say private schools had to take them. I didn’t say local governments had to abandon the school administration business.
Give ALL the state money to families to use where they please and the money will start in the classroom and not filter through layers of burecracy before it gets to the classroom.
Charter operators could expand and public operators would be free to operate more like charters.

I agree. For small business it "is" but it's a timing scam. Pay the locals in December, get the money back from the state in the summer.
I'd remove the credit and let the locals decide if they want to tax it or not, and how they tax it.
