[StBernard] Hospital tax passes in St. Bernard Parish

[Westley Annis]

You are correct.  Just wasn't thinking along those line of it.


>How much has St. Bernard's sales tax collections dropped

>with the economy and with the BP oil spill?


Or...how much did collections increase?  Those BP folks, contractors, etc.
bought a whole lot of "stuff" didn't they?  
Maybe collections rose.


>but it requires a high-caliber administrator and not someone getting a

 >political payback position.

Agreed.  However, I was doing a little searching on "Hospital Service
Districts" in Louisiana and
it seems they are all political entities.  In fact, isn't there one in
Terrebonne parish for 
Terrebonne General Hospital?

Let's hope that once it is built and the Franciscans are managing it, the
politicians will
keep their noses out.
