Merchants Push Tax Reform Plan After Parish Meeting
Parish merchants meet with the Mercantile Committee and Tax Commissioner to discuss a fair tax system. They argue real estate bears heavier tax while inventories fluctuate with seasons, proposing 70 percent stock valuation and 60 percent tax draw from that base, with a follow up conference planned. Prosecuting Attorney Mackintosh attends. State Commissioner Frost supports extending access to inventories as a fair method.
