Please email Mayor Cantrell and legislative officials on TODAY's vote and tell them to amend Senate Bill 110 to remove New Orleans Schools or to support referring the bill to House Education Committee for further debate.
If this legislation passes without amending OPSB out of the bill, schools would lose $3.2 million ($75.00) per student, while doubling the city’s collection to $6.4 million. The City of New Orleans has created this legislation to circumvent the Louisiana Supreme Court Ruling and Attorney General’s Office opinion that “local governments are not allowed to use property taxes for expenses not approved by voters”. We cannot allow millions of dollars designated by voters in support of classrooms to be used in fulfilling the city’s pension obligations! SB 110! |
