All the candidates want to lower or eliminate corporate taxes to try and get companies to move here. But if companies do not pay taxes, then that just means citizens will have to pay more taxes. Our public schools and roads suck! I realize we do need companies to set up shop in Louisiana, but there has to be other incentives.

I pay more in homeowners insurance than I do in property taxes. That just doesn't make sense to me. And whenever someone mentions raising property taxes, you'd think they were trying to tear your right arm off.

Oh, our and sales tax is at 9%. Chicago's tax isn't that high. (Last time I checked, close but not 9%.) I swear they just nickle and dime you to death down here.

Rant over. Thanks.

P.S. Kathleen Blanco seems wishy-washy to me. I'm voting for Leach.
