Reelection driving Shreveport new spending choices

Take a look at what Shreveport elected officials stump for in increased spending and you can tell it’s an election year. Last week, Republican Mayor Tom Areceneaux announced, because of presumed higher sales tax collections from a data center siting in the city, that he would put into the budget, and start it a month before the next fiscal year (after the general election but before the runoff), pay raises and other potential bonuses for public. He thought for police the cost for around a 5 perc

LA must fight to prevent dispensing dangerous drug

Louisiana’s intersection increasingly at the cutting edge of policy-making refreshingly continues with its pursuit of a suit designed to show deliberately designed unfettered access to chemical abortions can be dangerous to more than just the unborn and to reinstate rules to prevent that outcome. The use of mifepristone as the second agent to kill in the womb (following misoprostol) the state has led the way in trying to have through the courts reimposed a Food and Drug Administration ban agains

Tweaked BC district should replace those junked

Not inherent flaws leaving something fixable but trying to do too much too perfectly sunk the proposed pair of economic development districts proposed in Bossier City. Last week, the city threw in the towel, for now, on an EDD encompassing only the city’s four casinos and another taking in the East Bank district plus capturing hotels, the Louisiana Boardwalk, and the Chasing Aces golf driving complex. The legislative author of the idea, Republican City Councilor Chris Smith, conceded it went too

Time ripe to zero out LA residential property taxes

Debate over Amendment #6 that voters will weigh in upon this fall illustrates a tax system so riddled with exceptions that the best strategy might be to dispense with property tax on homesteads. The amendment would build upon the special assessment level now granted constitutionally to individuals 65 or older, as well as to some younger who are disabled or who are widows and widowers of those who once qualified (which includes active duty members of the armed service killed in the line of duty),

Reworking, not money, best for child care policy

Rather than throw more money at a perceived problem, perhaps Louisiana should reconceptualize how it addresses child care. Money that the country didn’t have was thrown at states, through federal government grants, during the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic to give families – read single parents mostly mothers, who comprise the vast bulk of Child Care Assistance Program recipients – more money to pay for child care. The program will subsidize at varying amounts (plus for some a small co-payment) depe

Fully funded ESA program to give LA boost

Real world experience may have mooted the argument against Louisiana implementing fully its GATOR program on cost considerations. This program provides an education savings account for public schoolchildren of school age (5-21) who have an income at or below 250 percent of the federal poverty limit. It may be spent on tuition or a number of other services or items related to education. Eventually, it will expand first to incorporate families up to the 400 percent level, then finally open to all

Defeat spendthrift Caddo’s sports boondoggle

Overtaxed Caddoans, get set to receive a sales pitch this week about a low-priority sports complex that won’t come close to paying for itself, whether measured tangibly or intangibly. In three sessions, the parish will present an idea for a complex that will allow for a variety of indoor sports – including pickleball, on which last year it already blew $10 million for a dedicated facility on land owned by the Northwest Louisiana YMCA. Outdoor sports around it also remain a possibility. Perhaps i

LA politicians shouldn’t back college subversion

It might make for good politics, but it’s bad law and devalues education for politicians to support efforts, encouraged by Louisiana State University, to allow professional athletes to play their sport at Louisiana institutions of higher learning. As college football has begun, much attention has focused on the efforts of a number of former college players who participated in National Football League camps who wish to return to playing in college after their attempts to latch onto an NFL team fa

Monroe Council Democrats delay may cost public

Difficult-to-explain political maneuvering by Monroe’s Democrat City Council majority potentially has put the city’s citizens in a tough spot. Last week, the Council again deferred action on a pair of master service agreements with two established engineering firms. Use of MSAs occurs commonly in local governments, which basically is like a retainer: on short notice, the city could call upon these entities to provide services at agreed-upon rates. For example, if a water or sewer line became ino

Changes needed to reduce BC EDD riskiness

All the fancy footwork in the world can’t hide the fact that as Bossier City plunges forward with creation of two new taxing districts it risks picking winners and losers among businesses and invites future elected officials to help themselves to increased tax collections. This week, the City Council approved the boundaries of these. One gulps in the city’s four casinos while the other basically radiates out from the East Bank District to the Arthur Ray Teague Parkway to the south, to the Red Ri

Landry dealing overcoming lingering doubts

With a little luck and adroit maneuvering, Republican Gov. Jeff Landry might be covering his Achilles heel for reelection in 2027. While drawing enthusiastic reviews from his conservative base for his tax-cutting policy, holding the line on state government spending, backing sensible measures addressing social issues, and scoring big on economic development moves, it has been nonplussed over his attitude about coastal restoration lawsuits. Over 40 parish-based suits remain against legacy explora

Half-baked BC economic districts need rethinking

It’s possible that a taxing economic development district might be a good thing for the old part of Bossier City. But the plans presented for a pair of these that the City Council will vet this week make that impossible. The Council will consider in its first September meeting creating two such districts where one takes in most of the commercial establishments in the East Bank District and to the north, east, and south plus the Louisiana Boardwalk, while the four casinos comprise the other.

Make beneficial changes before adjusting formula

In order actually to solve a problem, you need to understand it, which it isn’t at all clear that Louisiana’s Legislative Higher Education Funding and Formula Task Force does. As the landscape of higher education continues to change, senators thought it would be a good idea to review the outcomes-based funding formula. It’s a good idea, considering the challenges funding for higher education faces, beginning with the fact of the “demographic cliff” in the country, or that traditional-aged colleg

State GOP does best with restrained endorsing

It’s two steps forward, one step back for Louisiana’s state Republican Party on an endorsement process that has roiled two congressional elections. Earlier this week, the party endorsed state Sen. Blake Miguez for the Sixth District contest. This brought remonstrations from the other leading candidate to win the seat, state Sen. Rick Edmonds. The process involves enough state central committee members within the boundaries of the district petitioning for an endorsement, with the final approval g

State GOP Miguez nod unlikely to affect CD 6 race

It might inflame passions for those involved, but it’s likely going to make little difference that the Executive Committee of the Louisiana Republican State Central Committee on behalf of the state party endorsed GOP state Sen. Blake Miguez for the Sixth Congressional District over GOP state Sen. Rick Edmonds. This weekend, the Committee, a subset of party officers of the much larger SCC, after the SCC nominated both Edmonds and Miguez for consideration of the endorsement. Ultimately, the Commit
