School Board seeks $2.6M in owed oil royalties

By MELINDA DESLATTE Associated Press
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana’s sales tax collections from internet purchases are growing, even though the system still involves out-of-state retailers voluntarily remitting taxes for online product sales. The state revenue department told a legislative commission that Louisiana received $740,000 in sales tax collections from large out-of-state companies for online sales from July to September. That doubled to $1.4 million during the October to December quarter, said Luke Morris, assistant secretary at the department. “More remote sellers are voluntarily complying,” Morris told the panel. “The collections are steadily increasing.” Voluntary remittances of sales tax have grown since a June ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court paved the way for states to require the tax collections for online purchases from retailers who didn’t See Taxes Page 5-A

Governor opens Session with hopeful state of the state address By Hunter Lovell and James A. Smith LSU Manship School News Service
BATON ROUGE—Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards presented a hopeful State of the State address Monday at the Capitol to open the 2019 legislative session. Edwards’ tone stood in sharp contrast to the last few sessions in which lawmakers fought extensively over how to solve state budget problems. Edwards, a Democrat who is campaigning for re-election, pointed to how the state’s $2 billion deficit has turned into a surplus and said his top priority this year is pay raises for teachers. He is seeking $1,000 pay raises for public school teachers and $500 raises for school support personnel.
The Lafourche Parish School Board is taking steps to reclaim $2.6 million in mineral royalties currently held by the state. Schools Superintendent Louis Voiron told the School Board last Wednesday that the state owes the district $2.6 million in mineral royalties collected from production on 16th section land in Lake Raccourci, located in south Lafourche to the west of Leeville. The money was collected from 2007 to 2010, Voiron said. Despite the sinking land, the state has ruled the school district is still entitled to royalty revenues because the land is still producing. The board unanimously approved a resolution asking the state LegislaSee School Board Page 3-A

Gov. John Bel Edwards kicked off the 2019 session with a speech to legislators.
“Our teachers deserve more,” Edwards said, urging lawmakers to “step up” for teachers across the state. Edwards also boasted about stabilizing funding for higher education and securing healthcare services. See Governor Page 5-A
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana hasn’t seen a surge in voter registrations in the days since thousands of convicted felons saw their voting rights restored. Data from the secretary of state’s office shows no uptick in the number of felons who registered to vote in February compared to the number who signed up in March, when the law loosened and made an estimated 36,000 more felons eligible to vote.

When to tackle weeds in your lawn
Weeds are the bane of lawn and garden enthusiasts. Weeds can spread rapidly and overrun pristine grass, choking lawns and robbing them of their lush green look. In garden beds, weeds can steal water from thirsty plants, threatening their survival. A proactive approach that prevents weed growth is easier and less frustrating than dealing with weeds after they That have sprouted. means addressing weeds before they release seeds, and not waiting so long that the damage is already done. According to the home and landscape experts with This Old House, spraying herbicide for weeds in June and July can address weeds before seeds are set. Tilling and installing a new lawn in late August or the beginning of September can help the lawn establish itself before the first frosts arrive, all the while avoiding weed growth. The weed control experts at Roundup also suggest a springtime application of weed killer if this is the desired route. Early treatment can prevent weed roots from spreading too far in the soil, which can reduce the chances that weed remnants will be left behind to grow at a later time. Homeowners with small lawns or gardens or those who prefer handweeding or using nonchemical ways to treat weeds must take steps to address the weeds early. Gardeners can try suffocating weeds by placing wood, blocks or plastic over them. Wet newspaper used as mulch can block weed formation and also clear patches of unwanted grass so that garden beds can be mapped out. Pouring boiling water on weeds or pulling them by hand is more effective when roots are young and
have not yet spread. The UK-based company Lawnsmith also suggests a mid-spring weed killer application. This ensures that all weeds that have surfaced are addressed and that none are missed by weeding too early. By waiting and applying weed treatments in the fall, when dandelions
and other weeds are absorbing food and nutrients in larger quantities to survive winter, homeowners can rid their lawns and gardens of weeds efficiently. Weeds are a nuisance and an eyesore in lawns and gardens. Choosing the right time to treat them can ensure they don’t adversely affect lush landscapes and thriving gardens.

“It’s kind of ironic. For all the talking and all of the chatter surrounding the law and the implementation, it looks very similar to what we saw the month prior,” said Tyler Brey, spokesman for Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin. “We’ll continue to watch it.” Louisiana legislators voted last year to allow people on probation or parole for a felony to register to vote if they haven’t been incarcerated for at least five years. The new law took effect March 1. Thousands more people were deemed to meet the definition than some lawmakers said they expected when they debated the measure. Seventy-eight felons had their voting rights reinstated in February, compared to 68 in March, according to the data. Brey said the secretary of state’s office cannot determine which of those who registered in March were able to register because of the law change. The true test of interest from those newly enfranchised under the law may come in the summer and fall as the Oct. 12 statewide election nears — when the governorship, six other statewide positions and all 144 state legislative

seats will be on the ballot. The deadline to register to vote in that election is in September. Supporters of the felon voting rights restoration fought for years to win passage of the law. Some backers criticized the roll-out of the law change, saying officials have done too little to reach out to the potential voters and the multistep registration process is too complicated. Under plans devised by elections and corrections officials, felons have to get a form from their probation or parole officers and bring that to their local registrar of voters office to sign up to vote in the next available election. Officials said the process follows requirements in law. Rep. Patricia Smith, the Baton Rouge Democrat who sponsored the felon voting rights measure, has filed a proposal for the upcoming legislative session to remove the in-person registration requirements. ___ Follow Melinda Deslatte on Twitter at http://twitter.com/melindadeslatte

Lafourche Parish School Board the money it’s owed.” “It’s one-time funding, however it’s onetime funding that we can absolutely use to help our fund balance out in this school district,” Voiron said. The School Board also agreed to partner with the Lafourche Parish Assessor’s Office to implement a new data program for the state Industrial Tax Exemption Program. The Industrial Tax Exemption Program allows businesses to apply for a tax break at the parish level, exempting them from paying property taxes for so many years while promising to create more jobs and payroll for a higher economic impact. Previously, these applications were handled on the state level. But when Gov. John Bel Edwards took office, he put the process in the hands of the parish. Now, for such an exemption to be approved, the parish School Board, council and Sheriff’s Office must all agree. Under the agreement, Assessor Wendy Thibodeaux is purchasing and installing a new data system that will streamline the process for Lafourche Parish. The new system will compile all property and sales tax data to objectively calculate the impact a potential tax exemption would have on the parish, Thibodeaux said. When a company applies for the program, the data will be inputted into the system and be evaluated as a net positive, zero effect or net negative. If the system determines the exemption would have a net positive effect on the parish economy, it will automatically be approved, Thibodeaux said. If the program determines there will be a net zero or a negative, the decision will be given to the three entities, the School Board, Parish Council and Sheriff’s Office to decide. “I’m very very excited. I know it seems very simple as a piece of
paper, but the message that this is sending out, I cannot stress to everyone how important this is to our parish for the growth of our parish,” Thibodeaux said. Voiron said this program is “not costing the School Board a penny.” “I really was pushing for us to have a solution that didn’t put our board in a situation where we were arbitrary at any time about making any types of decisions,” Voiron said. “I think we needed something objective.” The Assessor’s Office is paying for the program in its entirety. It should be up and running in two weeks, Thibodaux said. “This is going to show everybody, busi-

have a physical presence like a store or distribution center in a state. A state sales tax commission has set rules for collecting taxes for online sales from large out-of-state retailers, defining who is subject to Louisiana sales tax, how they should register with the state and how they turn over the sales taxes they collect. Morris said 592 companies that don’t have a physical store in Louisiana and only sell to residents through online sites have registered as “remote sellers” and are collecting sales taxes for online purchases. “At some point, that will become mandatory, likely this year,” Morris said. Revenue department officials have said they are working on a centralized software system that can charge out-ofstate website retailers the 4.45 percent state sales tax rate and the varying local sales tax rates based on where the purchaser lives. In Louisiana, parishes levy their own local sales tax rates and usually handle sales tax collections. For out-of-state companies that only do business in Louisiana
through internet sales, the sales tax commission is serving as the single online sales tax collector, targeting those that have more than $100,000 in sales or more than 200 transactions in the state. Until the centralized system is operating, the sales tax commission is collecting an 8.45 percent rate from online vendors located outside Louisiana who are voluntarily submitting the taxes — with 4.45 percent kept by the state and 4 percent divvied up among local governments. ___ Follow Melinda Deslatte on Twitter at http://twitter.com/melindadeslatte

“Through partnership rather than partisanship, we restored fiscal stability and put an end to the greatest budget crisis in our state’s history,’” Edwards said. He maintained that the “state is finally moving in the right direction.” U.S. Rep. Ralph Abraham, R-Alto, and Eddie Rispone, a R e p u b l i c a n businessman, were both in the House chamber as Edwards spoke. The two Republicans are

challenging Edwards in this year’s governor’s race. Abraham disputed Edwards’ notion that the state had made significant progress. “The state is not okay,” Abraham said. “We’ve got a lot of problems. We’ve got a lot of issues, and we’re not addressing them. We’ve got to take this to a whole other level.” “Right now, we’re not there,” Abraham said. “We don’t have the leadership that we’ve got to have to move that needle.” Other Republicans expressed more optimism. “I thought the governor’s speech was very upbeat,” Senate President John Alario, R-Westwego, said. “There will be differences of opinion from both sides, and if each side will listen to each other’s arguments, sometimes they’ll find out the other guy’s argument is not that bad.” In the speech, Edwards touted his expansion of the state’s Medicaid program to include residents making up to 38 percent more than poverty levels. Roughly 480,000 people have enrolled. Edwards told the story of a recovering addict who had received care through the expansion and is now becoming a paralegal. He also mentioned that no rural hospitals have closed since the expansion, both saving jobs and providing care to rural residents. “We know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Medicaid expansion is saving lives,” he said. Edwards, however, did not mention the loose management controls that state auditors have criticized. In November, auditors found that the Louisiana Department of Health could have misspent $85 million on ineligible enrollees as well as
misallocated funds to healthcare providers. After the audit, his administration implemented a new computer system meant to prevent abuse. Edwards also expressed his support for protecting individuals with preexisting conditions. Currently, 850,000 Louisiana residents have pre-existing health conditions and are covered under the federal Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare. “I do not want the nearly one million Louisianans living with pre-existing conditions to get caught in the middle of Washingtonstyle politics,” Edwards said. “They deserve better than that.” Abraham said he hoped that there would be more bipartisanship in this year’s legislative session, but still insisted changes need to be made at the highest levels of the state. Edwards said he is again looking to establish a minimum wage in the state of $9 an hour and close the wage gap between men and women. State Rep. Barry Ivey (R., Baton Rouge) said the legislature was able to overcome budget deficits in recent years but will have different challenges for this session, with the governor’s minimum wage proposal likely to

face significant hurdles. Turning to the opioid epidemic, Edwards said he is supporting legislation to enhance data on opioid overdoses in the hopes of finding solutions. Deadly opioid overdoses in Louisiana have plateaued at a high rate. The state health department debuted a dashboard with drug overdose data in October. Edwards, who is pro-life, mentioned that abortions in the state are at a 10-year low. That received roaring applause from both Republicans and Democrats.
He opened his speech with an observance of the recent burnings of three black Baptist churches in St. Landry Parish in just 10 days. The state Fire Marshal called them “suspicious.” “Churches are sacred places, and no one should fear for their safety in their house of worship,” Edwards said. Edwards also is supporting a bill to establish the Veterans First Business Initiative, a business directory that would allow people to search for goods and services from veteranowned businesses.
In an effort to help Keep Lafourche Parish Clean, Lafourche Parish Government will conduct a Household Hazardous Materials Collection Day for Lafourche residents this Saturday, April 13th.

Critical need for type O donors
NEW ORLEANS, La. – The Blood Center urges donors, especially those with type O blood, to give this week. Increased usage and decreased donor turnout are putting The Blood Center’s supplies at critical levels. All blood types are needed; however, type O is in very high demand. While 60% of the population is eligible to donate, less than 5% actually does. To maintain a healthy and stable community blood supply, The Blood Center must collect between 300 to 350 pints of blood every day. Ian Stephens, Hospital Resources Vice President for The Blood Center adds, “We need about three days inventory of blood to maintain a healthy blood supply. Currently there’s less than a day supply of blood and the only way to increase inventory is
with community support. We need blood donors to give today, and bring a friend to give too. It’s that serious.� For more information on blood donation, please call (800) 86BLOOD or visit TheBloodCenter.org. Find The Blood Center on social media at @TheBloodCenter. ___
State Fire Marshal: Man arrested in ‘suspicious’ fatal fire
HOUMA, La. (AP) — Louisiana officials say a suspicious fire had killed a man and now another man has been arrested on murder, arson and other charges in connection with the blaze. News outlets report 39-year-old Wayne Winter Jr. died in the fire last week at a home in Houma that officials were looking into over suspicious circumstances. A statement from the State Fire Marshal’s Office says 37year-old David Mason was arrested Sunday. The Fire Marshal says it was a vehicle fire that spread to several structures. Several people safely escaped, but firefighters found Winter dead near the burning car. Investigators say they determined that Mason set the car on fire. They are still investigating and expect to arrest more people.

(StatePoint) - Nearly four in five American workers are now living paycheck to paycheck, according to Career Builder. If that describes you, experts say there are steps you can take to live more comfortably and securely. Build a Nest Egg Having the capacity to absorb a financial shock is one of the major tenets of financial wellness, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Unfortunately, nearly 60 percent of Americans don’t have enough savings to cover a $500 unplanned expense, according to a report from Bankrate. Does your budget include a line item for a rainy-day fund? If not, it’s time to make room in your budget for one. Most budgets, when closely examined, have some give, so look for where you can cut back in order to divert more funds toward growing your nest egg. Once you’ve determined how much you can afford, automate payments to this account. Seek Out Buying Alternatives Be tricky when you’re cash-strapped. Though high-interest credit cards, payday loans or rent-to-own contracts might look like lifelines when faced with a necessary expense you can’t immediately afford, these options can quickly devolve into compounding interest rates, hidden fees or even loss of merchandise. Look into new financing options, such as employee purchase programs, which can offer a better way to buy when cash or prime credit are not options. “In a high employment market, many em-
ployers offer purchase programs as a voluntary benefit to retain loyal, satisfied workers,” says HR industry expert, Racquel Roberts. “It provides easier access to products and services paid over time, but without the usual pitfalls.” Programs like Purchasing Power, for example, allow employees to pay for items through payroll deduction over the course of 12 months. There’s no interest on the purchase, no fees and no credit check, making this an ultimately more affordable and accessible way to acquire that appliance, computer or other needed item. For more information, visit purchasingpower.com. Leverage Other Benefits As more employers learn that a financially secure workforce makes for a more productive workforce, you may find a growing menu of voluntary benefits in your workplace designed to help you gain control of your financial life. From financial counseling services to student loan repayment to employee purchase programs, leveraging such tools can help you gain financial footing in a paycheck to paycheck reality. Give Your Credit a Boost The importance of good credit can’t be overstated. However, 20 percent of U.S. consumers have FICO scores of less than 600. For those who pay their cable, phone, utility and other recurring bills on time and infull, a new program called Experian Boost may be able to help you boost your credit instantly. The program works by factoring in a consumer’s payment history on such bills, to give those with a limited
credit history a boost. It can be tough, if not impossible to feel secure when you are living paycheck to paycheck, but some smart strategies and helpful resources can help you gain financial footing.
