Louisiana Income Tax Cut Possible
A move to cut state income taxes for Louisiana taxpayers who itemize deductions began in a Senate committee Monday, but the proposed compromise is just the starting point of negotiations.

I just can't understand why I get a refund on federal taxes but not state. At the same time I am not seeing my tax dollars at work either. Maybe I should move to New Orleans?

Taxes
Well They are going to repeal some of the Stelly Plan. My question is why is a tax cut slowly phased in but a tax hike is immediately retroactive? I also love how the pundits say this is going to cost the state millions of dollars, why not tell us what it will save the taxpayers.

Call me cynical but my nephew recently got mugged at gun point down there, so I have my reasons for b!tching a little. At this point, I would let them keep the extra billions if they would make Louisiana one of the top 5 safest states in the nation.. Heh heh heh, LOL, yeah right.... |

Well you can expect that as long as the Super dome is more important then the citizens of our state, that the "less fortunate" are going to turn to crime for their food and entertainment.

I don't know about all of you, but I look forward to voting for some new names and faces in the next couple of years. |

I have to disagree Brain. I think Francis Thompson and his ilk are the most disgusting waste of tax dollars. What about the private sugar cane mills that are struggling and we foot the bill for two brand new ones or the Hightower Hilton that no private intity would invest in, that was only 50 mil. or the unpaid golf rounds in New Orleans the state pays for the list is never ending. The state keeps getting smaller yet Govt. gets bigger.

Will the sugar mill provide new jobs for our citizens even if temporary, and a product to be sold at profit? What do the Saints provide other than entertainment? Remember, the Super dome is an entity outside of the Saints and all of the jobs created as a result of that structure exist with or without the Saints just like they do in the off season with auto shows and other various exhibitions....and even if those concession stands are going bankrupt, it wouldn't cost $186 million to keep OR replace them. Hey, I'm willing to debate the issue, I just don't see the Saints as anything more than a needless entertainment expense and I CAN find at least one piece of a silver lining in most of the other crap our state does. |
