Just this weekend, Robideaux told The Advocate, “My role in
this is to (ensure) the bills (are) heard, give them a fair hearing.”
This morning, Robideaux said, "Unless the committee
members have a change of heart, I think it’s (the repeal of the State Income
Tax) probably dead for this session."
In a statement, Governor Jindal, who had proposed
eliminating the Income Tax in favor of an increased state Sales Tax, expressed
his disappointment.
"Eliminating income taxes
is the single best thing we can do to create jobs in Louisiana," Jindal
said. "If the Legislature decides not to act, I think it will be a missed
opportunity."
Food trucks return today in Jefferson Parish for the FatCity Food Truck Festival. The Festival, which Councilwoman Cynthia Sheng hopes
to turn into a monthly event, will showcase food trucks in the parking lot of a

Food Trucks were banned in
Jefferson Parish in 2007 after they proliferated throughout the parish after
Hurricane Katrina.
The trucks at the Fat City
Festival are imported for the day from New Orleans.
