[Comment From John Roberts]
How about an increase incrementally?

[Comment From brown]
If the homestead exemption is raised will there be pressure on other forms of tax collection to make up any shortfall?

[Comment From Thom]
LA has an income tax, sales tax and property tax. Some states don't have all 3. I believe we should do away with at least one of them or all 3 should somewhat be lowered.

[Comment From Keith]
What would be an appropriate amount for the homestead exemption to be raised?

[Comment From gonazp1]
What about taking out the exemption and everyone paying some portion of the tax. Has anyone done the numbers if that will lower some of the property tax rather than increasing the exemption? The next issue would be to evaluate all properties and I mean all of them.

Jeff Crouere - My guest for this on-line chat is John Roberts of the Taxpayers Union of Louisiana. Our question is whether the Homestead Exemption should be increased. What do you think?
