They want the things Louisiana already has. What they don't want is income taxes and sales taxes as high as we have in the metropolitan areas.

Next to taxes it's the single biggest income for the county.

If the bargain is that you are going to get lower property taxes but higher sales taxes, that is no bargain at all for the folks making less than $100,000. They are going to end up with more of a tax burden than they had before.

We haven't raised the operation and maintenance tax rate much over the years. And sales taxes basically have tanked.

I don't know whether we're going to pull it all from sales taxes, impact fees or a combination.

This year we have hit record highs for consolidated net sales, consolidated operating income and consolidated net income. These favorable results are due to a continued increase in domestic and overseas car production for Japanese auto manufacturers.
