Wednesday and Thursday evenings members of the House of Representatives issued statements opposed to SB 335 which would renege on the tax break promised us by the leges in 2007. (Statements here.)  The legislation would INCREASE the State Personal Income Tax on the middleclass, working people, in Louisiana by $118 Million, annually.

Note that the following Republicans in the House do NOT OPPOSE THE TAX INCREASE:

Gordon Dove - Houma
Hollis Downs - Ruston
Greg Ernst - New Orleans
Nita Hutter - Chalmette.
Tom McVea - Jackson
Jim Tucker - New Orleans

Please let these 6 Republicans what you think about their plans to increase your taxes.

Please thank those Democrats, No Party persons and Republicans who signed the attached statement opposing the tax increase.

Chicken Little to weatherman Thursday, May 28 2009

For 6 months Bobby Jindal a.k.a “Chicken Little”has been telling us that LA’s fiscal sky is falling.

Apparently, during this period, Bobby also attended meteorologist school.

On Tuesday Bobby declared that the sky is not falling; it’s simply raining.  Instead of cutting Higher Education, money can now be taken from the “Rainy Day” (Budget Stabilization) Fund to restore the cuts HE made.

If you’ve never seen Bobby do the Cajun Two-Step, go here to listen to him dance.

Back stabbing leges Wednesday, May 27 2009 

backstabbed

Some have been asking for the names of those who voted for SB 335 last week in the Senate Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Committee that RETROACTIVELY removed of a portion of our excess Federal itemized deductions. The tax break was PROMISED to us in 2007.

Once again the leges have reneged on a promise and stabbed us in the back with a retroactive tax increase.

Despite what you may have heard or read, the itemized deductions are NOT a tax break for the wealthy. The wealthy already lost all their Federal Itemized Deductions due to IRS regulations. This is strictly a MIDDLE CLASS tax break for working people in Louisiana.

Those who fingerprints are on the knife in our back (voting for SB 335): Senators Rob Marionneaux-D, Robert Adley-R, Yvonne Dorsey-D, Reggie Dupre-D, Cheryl Gray-Evans-D, “Bob” Kostelka-R, Gerald Long-R and “Blade” Morrish-R.

“Taking a walk” (asked to leave when vote was taken) were cowards: Senators Dale Erdey-R, Neil Riser-R and “Buddy” Shaw-R.

Please save this vote for the next time one of these leges asks for your vote.
