I am actually tired of his bull-shit excuses of why it can't be corrected. And another thing: his commercial about the over 65 property value freeze. He acts like this is just happening. Hell, my dad has been dead over 5 years and I told him about this. It is because Conrad never saw a tax he didn't like? This just makes him nervous about the next election? Why tell the public now when this has been in existence for some time now?? What say you Conrad Comeaux fans? - The Original Northsidian Wed, 18 May 2011 19:42:00 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8311-fair-share#comment-17795 Assessors akin conrad are scattered all over louisiana and their job calls for them to provide low tax rates as the administrators allowto the moneybags of each domain, HAH, """the next BS write up in the daily rag Advertiser of our community dedicated well-doers A LA Shalooms and the BUST-ANYS comes out in print remember these thievin lanholders never give away the farm rather underhandily with the help of "CONRAD COMEAUX and parish administrator cronys they escape paying their just taxes. PEOPLE HAVE SHORT MEMORYS, SO, I WILL TAKE A PAGE AD IN THE INDY, JUST PRIOR to the next election to reflect on Joey's and Conrads hidden contracts and thievin tax adjustments for their cronys. DAS AH GIMME! - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Wed, 18 May 2011 07:58:08 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8311-fair-share#comment-17794 The Ind is not highlighting these properties in an attempt to have them taxed out of ownership, but rather hoping that the loophole in a law designed to protect farmers and their farmland could somehow be adjusted to a more fair rate and not allow other landowners to take advantage. And protect the elderly, the fixed income property owner and the long term investor? tampering can have other undesirable consequences, not the least of which could be erosion of property ownership rights of the poor and disadvantaged. I hope this paper does some homework on the abuses of emiment domain in the rest of the country that happened under the guise of "economic development" which lead to La strengthening our constitution by amendment recently. - realitycheck Wed, 18 May 2011 06:35:53 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8311-fair-share#comment-17792 How about a story on the nonprofits? When you realize how much money is not collected bc of the nonprofit status, you have to ask why any more taxes go to NGOs. I don't so much mind that in the past nonprofits have not paid taxes for office space and churches, etc. but with agencies like Acadiana Outreach attempting to become large real estate developers, it will lead to serious revenue losses. How much does HUD development cost the city in lost taxes when developments are done through nonprofits???? The mayor has expressed an interest in awarding adjudicated properties to nonprofits, like they are his own personal property to give away as he pleases, even though the supreme court says ONLY through sheriff sales. - realitycheck Wed, 18 May 2011 06:24:06 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8311-fair-share#comment-17791 Keep bringing to the light how easy it is to own property and avoid paying any taxes on that ownership. The laws have to be changed. I don't want to burden farmers, REAL farmers, but wealthy landowners, sitting on valueable property, should be paying more than they are. - Morrow Wed, 18 May 2011 04:49:20 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8311-fair-share#comment-17787 It is so obvious a lot of cheating of property tax has been going on for along time. The loss of revenue affects so many services. Apparently our tax assessor Conrad comeaux has been asleep at the wheel for some time resulting in millions in lost revenue that could have improved our community. What a disappointment - Angry Tue, 17 May 2011 19:06:56 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8311-fair-share#comment-17786 It is time rethink property taxes as a revenue source. - James Melancon Tue, 17 May 2011 18:10:17 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8311-fair-share#comment-17775 If there is a city trash bin, I would bet someone's living there. - Northern Cynic Tue, 17 May 2011 12:34:28 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8311-fair-share#comment-17770 THIS incenses me to no end...."the public dollars used to fund infrastructure, education and other critical services. " How about the public dollars used to shore up LCG's budget so that we could cut taxes for EVERYONE! This is a perfect example of the completely inept mettling of government. The less government does, the better. The simpler government rules/regulations/policies, the better. This is just not hard. Lay taxes fairly and evenly across the entire population, no loopholes or subsidies for anybody, keep taxes as low as they possibly can be, and clearly WRITE DOWN what LCG can use the tax money for....and clearly does NOT mean "economic development".... - ragin_cajun Tue, 17 May 2011 11:26:08 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8311-fair-share#comment-17768 "This 8-acre property on Alleman Drive off of Johnston Street near Park Place Apartments comes equipped with a one-bedroom “shed,” carport with two barbecue pits and a city trash bin. Its property tax bill for 2010? $17.41." this incenses me TO NO END!! - queenbee Tue, 17 May 2011 11:04:01 +0100
