II by Mister Trish alright alright I'm 10 instrument administrator address there were none I'm 11 boy Adams Adventures Journal board members just want to make you all breath of the issue I know where I last year I guess y'all done I had it in for pin oak and everything where are they moved forward with it and started that so once I kept on looking at it and garavel testify of there this past legislative session we I have a pending lawsuit I filed an injunction what happened to all the judges that recused themselves so that the higher get a dock Metro schedule for June the 26th but so that's the way it's moving and I'm looking at the Apollo documents some information that they have presented to the council and the board back last year it has been increased so we may need to get mr. Stein to go there and do another audit because the property that their claim they have right now and you were scheduled to go online the value has exceeded by far as of last year now I have a pending and which I'm saying I guess I jumped in this water by myself and I didn't want to phone nobody down with me but I guess if y'all can think about it if you want to do that sis and and Pastor Reza that may help with the kids but I don't benefit personally and we're from this this is totally for the school I have always say how many asked me what I wanted I said the 33% that we would have gotten if it was split between the parish the Sheriff's Office School Board then especially with this charter school coming up now this mfp money or we're going to lose I think this would have been a beneficial please pass the whole little bit so I just wanted to put y'all to put that on your mind but the lawsuit is going forward and I'm scheduled go to on June 26th it is matter you look back at it would happen the ad hoc had to come in and schedule it and had to work with the lawyers in them and it just so happened to me that day now the we want Journey Retreat a little early and then we walk in there like tomorrow best if Courthouse of St George music giving people their money and what not but yes it's going to be that evening okay so  any other boys of Interest  no the property taxes know what happens  is going to be Nathan's job if they haven't been paying the sales tax because initially me mister Georgia went a couple meetings they said in the grimmette that they were going to take everything that was being to you the tank form deal was going to take ship made out of it at the Gerber facility it did take shipment of it I'm saying as we with lawsuits that we have they would have to pay sales tax on it so it were talking about 3 to 5 meeting our barrels and so paperwork where they may be almost 10 million and that wasn't supposed to happen to tell if a street so if they had two million barrels as of now and they haven't even went to face. ceded their projections are with the estimated back last year and Miss value to the whole community is just going through it is not part of their inventory problem  what do you mean  as long as nobody just for few days and it goes Uconnect access don't forget and I'm responding at 4 or forget sabroso do you want me to places on the retreat agenda to for the board to consider retaining and Journey 2 address this matter in realizing which I tried to call the Louisiana assessors Association and he had some people fighting the Cooperative Endeavor agreement Association butts on ultimately in which when I was talking about last year but if I was going to go ahead on and file for attorney general's opinion  which I said don't worry about it I was going to do about my own but they already had one now do you have an attorney general's opinion right now weather in Orleans Parish Louisiana and the main thing they're trying to hey this is used for parking purpose and just like what the school we don't pay the property taxes on this because we are public entity until what they're doing or what pin oaks Builder facility turned around and turn the land over to the port the port has playing in the porch going to turn around and lease it back Pino's but in the lease agreement it says that if Pin Oaks at any time says that they want playback DQ Force Deport Justin to give it back to him and I stayed in the apartment and I didn't have a lease agreement like that where I can tell you to be leaving but I'm thinking sometime but that's in the agreement and the whole thing is the issue is  public purpose  how can gravity is going to be making a whole lot of money be using it for a public purpose but did trying to use that under the umbrella off the port to see the Parker purpose which is not because the thing is and so they wanted to the even I guess they're trying to do the threatening and that if there is given during Junction 175 and I guess they figure my pocket you know my back is not dead what is I don't want to stop I'm not telling you to stop Hispanics would have to pay for property taxes and then it'll be a win-win for everyone so that's just the situation it is and I guess we can probably on talk to some board members but I don't want to put anybody in the in the situation with it me feel uncomfortable son in the resolution but it is set and June 26th I will be in court for this matter  well I would suggest we put it can you gender or the retreat and decide at that point whether we might want to as you said a resolution of support or maybe even join in the action itself  I'm both those things need to be discussed we need to do them with the lawyer in the room to decide which is best Direction go in but I want to compliment you on taking the lead in that set back in back a little earlier I'll say in public now I think you're doing a good job young man give me later  one last thing of would miss Patricia on your point part of that agreement with a pen look in the parish in the port of south Louisiana is that when company sign on to store those products they are signing on to say that yes they will easy inventory tax so that covers that issue and which are we had I think the the agreement pilot agreement signed in November if you all remember I brought in their formation I think the governor sign at 8 executive order  September October of last year so it was after the governor executive order singing at the local bodies would have a say in if they want to participate in this program because the end of the day we have no no no idea how much money we're leaving on the table I'm saying some of the things that this could have even helped with the text but until we know the True Value and if it's in the best interest of all parties in is hard to enter an agreement if you don't know what's on the table with the 10-year tax exemption wouldn't have involved in the pilot program which operate in lieu of the 10-year tax but I could be wrong I'm certainly not have a lot of lawyer I sleep with one but that doesn't matter so but yeah it's on there and then so we will be moving forward with that  nearby emotional join some ocean by Matt Sanders Mister franchise drawing  you're watching WPS St John the Baptist Parish Public School television
