Not answering OP but on topic. Listened to a young mom convo about “why can’t we get really nice travel ball fields in town? I can’t believe everyone voted against that property tax”. Would yall support a property tax to build new fields? Seems nuts to me.

Pretty sure it’s what they did in Ruston.

I think they put an additional .5% sales tax on business that surround the facility and that’s how it was paid for.

Now those hotels and restaurants that pay that tax are slam packed every weekend of the year and they are booming.

Seems like a win for everyone.

Not sure how that wouldn’t work at Lamar Dixon area with all the hotels, restaurants, etc.
