Welcome to the discussion page for Judge Weimar on Tax Increment Financing.

FURTHER POTENTIAL FLAWS IN THE COURT'S REASONING:

  • (1) Importantly, in considering whether the project constiutes a donation of public funds to a private entity, the Majority only discuss the purposes of the project, and fail to consider the actual impacts or effects of the project. If the Majority had considered apparent outcomes, rather than the governmnent's avowed intent, it may well have reached the results articulated by Justice Chet D. Traylor in his dissent.
  • (2) The court explicitly overturns its own precedent, noting only, and perhaps somewhat arbitrarily, that the precedent expressed in City of Port Allen, that Section 14 of the Louisiana Constitution is violated "whenever the state or political subdivision seeks to give up soemthing of value when it is under no legal obligation to do so," presents an unworkable and incorrect interpretation" of the Louisiana Constitution.
