Stadium Tax Vote Slated Next Week
Baton Rouge reports a proposed 4.5 percent occupancy tax on Orleans and Jefferson Parish hotels to fund a domed New Orleans stadium. The measure, backed by Gov. McKeithen, passed a Senate committee and could face a floor vote next Tuesday. The tax would run three years before dropping to 4 percent, with suspending the 2 percent state sales tax on hotel bills if enacted. The plan hinges on private financing for a $30 million stadium and may not reach a public ballot.
