(The Center Square) − Louisiana school officials are raising concerns about a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow local voters to give older homeowners larger property tax exemptions, warning the measure could reduce school funding without giving school boards a say.Amendment 6, which will appear on the Nov. 3 ballot, would allow parishes and municipalities to hold elections on additional property tax exemptions for homeowners age 65 and older who qualify for Louisiana's existing special assessment level.The Louisiana School Boards Association is concerned because school systems rely heavily on local property taxes, said Danny Garrett, the association's executive counsel.Under the proposal, the exemption would grow as a homeowner gets older. Louisiana already exempts the first $75,000 of a qualifying home's market value from certain property taxes. The amendment would increase the total exempt value to $135,000 for homeowners ages 65 to 68, $195,000 for ages 69 to 72, $255,000 for ages 73 to 76, $315,000 for ages 77 to 80 and $375,000 for those 81 and older.The change would not happen automatically. Voters in an individual parish or municipality would have to approve the additional exemption.That local option is at the center of the school boards association's concern.Garret said a municipality that collects relatively little property tax could approve the exemption even though another taxing body covering the same area, such as a school board, depends much more heavily on those taxes."They could put it on the ballot," Garret said. "It would have very little impact on them, and have a very significant impact on us."Garret saidthe association reads the amendment to mean that once voters approve the exemption, it would reduce the taxable value available to other taxing authorities covering that property, including school boards.That could also produce different tax treatment within the same parish, he said. If voters in one municipality approve the exemption but neighboring municipalities do not, similarly valued homes could be taxed differently depending on where they are located."We don't believe it's good tax policy," Garrey said.The amendment also says taxing authorities must absorb any revenue loss caused by the exemption. Other taxpayers could not be charged more through later property reappraisals or millage adjustments to make up the difference.Garrey said that provision raises questions for school districts that have already taken on debt based on expected property tax collections."We still have to make our bond payments," he said. "You have a contractual obligation. So I'm not exactly sure how that's going to work."The Legislative Fiscal Office also expects the proposal could have a significant effect on local governments, although the statewide cost cannot be determined because individual communities would decide whether to adopt it.Nearly 185,000 Louisiana taxpayers received the existing age-based special assessment in 2025, according to the fiscal note. As an illustration, analysts estimated that if each received just $1,000 more in exempt assessed value, local governments statewide would lose roughly $19.4 million annually.The fiscal office specifically noted that lower property tax collections could also affect Louisiana's Minimum Foundation Program, the formula used to distribute state funding to public schools. The size of that impact is unknown.If voters statewide approve the amendment, local governments could begin adopting the exemptions for tax years starting in 2028.

(The Center Square) – Another scandal is brewing at the Michigan Economic Development Corp. over more allegations of grant fraud. This comes after The American Arab Chamber reportedly fired Executive Director Bilal Hammoud amid allegations that more than $1 million of a $3.4 million grant administered by MEDC went missing. Hammoud is considered an ally of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, who appointed him to the state’s Workforce Development Board two years ago. The allegations add to longstanding concerns surrounding MEDC, which in recent years have centered on Fay Beydoun. In that case, the Whitmer ally and donor is facing 16 felonies tied to the alleged misuse of a $20 million state grant awarded to her nonprofit, Global Link International. Republicans pointed out the similarity between the stories. “If this all sounds familiar, it's because Hammoud replaced Fay Beydoun, who is facing 16 felony charges for – you guessed it – ’misusing’ a grant from Gretchen Whitmer's MEDC,” Michigan Senate Republicans posted to social media. “And in case you were wondering how close Hammoud and Whitmer are, she took him on one of her junkets to the UAE and Bahrain last year.” While state Republicans have long called for the abolition of the corporation, a taxpayer-funded economic development agency, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel notably joined in those calls after the Hammoud story broke. “Abolish the MEDC,” Nessel posted to social media. The Michigan Attorney General’s Office is coordinating with the FBI to investigate the matter. The chamber is also conducting its own independent investigation. “This story of fraud at the MEDC is sounding eerily familiar, and it’s clear that the group is a horrible steward of Michiganders’ tax dollars,” said Gabe Butzke, a spokesperson for Michigan Forward Network. “For once, we are in agreement with Attorney General Nessel: it is time to abolish the MEDC.” MEDC did not respond to a request for comment from The Center Square.

Convocados por el PP y con el respaldo de Vox los manifestantes se concentran frente a los ayuntamientos de todo el país para remarcar la españolidad de la ciudad autónoma entre insultos al presidente del Gobierno y ataques a la prensaEl informe - La Policía analiza imágenes de redes sociales para apuntar a la posible participación de agentes marroquíes en el asalto a Ceuta Miles de ciudadanos se han movilizado este miércoles por toda España para secundar las concentraciones convocadas por el Partido Popular sin consenso a través de la Federación Española de Municipios y Provincias (FEMP) y apoyadas por Vox en apoyo a Ceuta y a la gestión del Gobierno de la crisis abierta tras la entrada de miles de personas a la ciudad autónoma, el pasado 30 de julio. Bajo el lema 'Todos con Ceuta', las protestas se han repetido a las puertas de los ayuntamientos de toda España, coincidiendo precisamente con el día de Ceuta que se celebra cada 2 de septiembre. Desde el inicio de las movilizaciones se están escuchando lemas en contra de Pedro Sánchez y se están produciendo ataques a la prensa. Las movilizaciones se han producido en un clima convulso marcado este miércoles por el informe policial encargado por una jueza de la Audiencia Nacional y que apunta a la permisividad de Marruecos a la hora de facilitar la entrada de decenas de miles de personas a la ciudad autónoma. Los policías del Centro Nacional de Inmigración y Fronteras (CENIF), la unidad encargada de la elaboración del informe, tenían el mandato de no comunicar a sus superiores sobre el documento. Pero a última hora del martes El Español reveló la existencia del mismo, lo que hizo al ministro del Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, exigir explicaciones al director de la Policía. Este último informó después al Gobierno acerca del informe aunque aseguró que no apuntaba a la responsabilidad marroquí. Pero el informe conocido este martes había hecho ya virar el discurso del PP, principal convocante de las protestas. Frente a la tibieza de las últimas semanas, el líder del PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, asumía este miércoles que Marruecos “coordinó” el “ataque” contra Ceuta y reclamaba al Gobierno que llamara a consultas al embajador español en Rabat y que citara a su homóloga marroquí en España para informarle de “las medidas iniciales” que el Ejecutivo de Pedro Sánchez debería tomar contra el país de Mohamed VI. Con todo, el PP ya confiaba el martes en un amplio seguimiento de las protestas a las que se han sumado varios altos cargos del PSOE de Ceuta que han roto definitivamente con la dirección de su partido, además de otro un puñado de alcaldes y alcaldesas que han seguido sus pasos en otros puntos del país. Asistentes a la protesta de Madrid. La protesta en Madrid ha ocupado buena parte de la glorieta de Cibeles, frente al ayuntamiento, donde cientos de personas se han agolpado con banderas de España. Allí han escuchado el manifiesto propuesto por la presidenta de la FEMP, pero no consensuado en la entidad, leído por el alcalde de la ciudad, José Luis Martínez-Almeida. Entre otros lemas, se han escuchado los habituales insultos al presidente del Gobierno, como “Pedro Sánchez, hijo de puta” o “Sánchez, traidor, Ceuta es español”. Jesús, madrileño de 68 años, ha llegado hora y media antes a la convocatoria: “Ha habido una invasión, se han vulnerado las fronteras y estamos aquí porque la soberanía es innegociable”. Mientras aguardaba en la sombra, este manifestante ha recalcado que “Ceuta es parte de España, y si entran por ahí, ¿por qué no lo harán mañana por Granada?” Él también ha criticado la respuesta del Ejecutivo central. “La culpa es de todo el mundo menos de Marruecos, y eso es totalmente insostenible. Han estado un mes sin hacer nada, y las medidas que han tomado son mero maquillaje”, ha añadido. María ha decidido acercarse esta tarde a Cibeles para “apoyar a otros españoles que lo están pasando muy mal”. Esta gallega asentada desde hace décadas en la capital ha comentado a sus 76 años que “a los niños les han robado su verano, que no han podido ir a la playa de Ceuta”. Desde su punto de vista, la situación se solucionaría devolviendo los migrantes a Marruecos, incluso en contra de su voluntad, aunque eso contraviniera el derecho internacional: “Igual que han entrado, se les echa. No han querido enterrar ni a sus muertos. Quieren que criemos a sus niños para que luego venga toda la familia”. Por último, ha tildado a Sánchez de “traidor a España”.
