State Senator Rick Gallot spoke about the Legislative Session and the budget. In terms of loca l interest, Senator Gallot spoke about Senator Neil Riser, Chairman of the Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Committee, which is the Capital Outlay Committee, and how Rapides Parish did well in getting their projects funded. Mr. Gallot spoke about the bill he co -authored with Senator Gerald Long on adjudicated property, which is a big issue all over the country. Also some other bills passed in the legislative session ; allowing the Sheriff’s office to use inmate labor on rural churches that have non -profit status and allowing the City of Pineville to have an election this fall to sell alcohol in restaurants only.

Representative Chris Hazel stated one of the biggest issues w as Huey P. Long (Charity) Hospital.

Another issue REGULAR MEETING JULY 8, 2013

was the Legislature issued an urgent request for the Department of Army to retain Fort Polk, which is very important to Rapides Parish.

Senator Lance Harris stated that the big issue when the session started was Governor Bobby Jindal’s tax plan. One of the things the Legislature was very concerned about was taking the income taxes away from business and individuals and applying it to the sales tax. It would be so high that Municipalities and Police Jury’s would not be able to raise taxes in the future. He also spoke about the budget, higher education, teacher pay raises and money to school districts. He further stated that the Legislature worked hard on the Community College issue.

Representative Hebert Dixon stated that Louisiana had an excellent delegation of Senators and Representatives.

Representative Dixon passed out example Cooperative En deavor’s from Ho uma, Lafayette and New Orleans. He further explained that all of the Charity Hospital’s in Lou isiana have about consolidated with Cooperative Agreements with private hospitals.
