I have a good show would compromise could tell -- I first heard about thanks -- they -- that's. Last I was over there Williams the F soon to be only. Orleans Parish assessor about different properties and property values and -- in the other towns and what they're doing to try to raise the funds. Because everybody seems to be shorthanded here 260187. Is the number 866889087. Is our toll -- that's the stuff real -- pot and we will -- Because open to other stuff to listen let's go a rehash everything the last hour and limb and Hammond hung onto the break we take your call right now enemy to -- disappear. Narrowly in the single soon to be the only assessor in Orleans Parish and -- begins January 1. We talked with him about different fund. How we gonna fill a hole in all the hold the whole conversation started from quite frankly. Of our comment that I made just ask him people hypothetical question. Because the city is an a hole the city has put a blue and red light cameras and there has always been no discrepancies about tax assessment and appraisals and so I put the question out there last week sometime about. What would you rather see the city's got to the city has to find a more stable revenue source. A more fair revenue source and one of the questions -- throughout -- was would you -- the Seymour red light cameras or would you rather see your property values go up. -- Daschle and that's prompted airwaves the call me when animal. What. And I also know what also that question back up there again I mean the city needs money you're missile Andrew and on the city in -- Wallace's 67 million dollar hole he has made some serious cuts. -- and it looks like if if things go the way he wants to he's got the whole covered there. But he talked about furloughs and he's also talked about used to like to point three million dollars of an insurance settlement that was supposed to go to fix city properties. Well now that's a onetime peso money he was gonna get his hands on that ain't going to what they plan to do it. Finale don't have the money he he talked about sitting home in what terrible shape it's in. And now he doesn't have a 2.3 million dollar piece of property Nomo a chunk of money to fix the city properties that the war. So the question still stands do you wanna see more red light cameras you'll see property values go up. And then what we threw an air last hour this there's this doesn't town Beatrice Nebraska. And then giving away property that town is giving away in city owned property. Two people who will put that in -- they revenue tax generating. On the consider the mayor and the City Council should consider that if the city has pieces of property that they're doing nothing whiff. As somebody wants to come along they're trying to do to entice businesses to come here. Or you just try and entice somebody to build a house and pay property tax on it if the city owns a piece of property and it's doing nothing for the city. You think the city should give that property to somebody who will then start generate some tax revenue. 260 on late seventies and number 866 sitting on steroids -- toll -- that and more on the -- let's go to the phones -- thanks for hanging on through a break here on WWR.
Hi Alex felt -- that there was they have it probably litany of thanks and I can't. All these property title with a career. And the three years but the people that come back happen. Oh boy you buy the property at a check they. And I want you by -- killers the Korean is done this search is done the title cleared. Pop up blocks.
That's a good question you know one I have -- I have -- well I wish that I asked the Americans that seems to Maine and I guess -- kinda asked that question would you put it. Better than I did it seems to me that once it has reached the point. That the sheriff is doing attack sale and he told it. Aaron Williams themselves that their properties out there that the fines the -- fine send an unpaid taxes. Total up more than the property is actually worth so it was seemed to me once it got to a point that it is an attack sale. You better show for the -- if you wanna keep your property.
Right updated that just before the taxpayer -- one attack failed state come and there. I've made it my business to be -- you don't need to show up via its chances over -- today couple of weeks before.
True except except that they could show up and actually bid -- they can get a -- bit -- you could outbid a moral whatever.
Whatever but the thing is that should all be taken care of before it gets to the point of a --
Which your memo and -- makes at that just makes so much sense -- because I did what what was the line in the sand. That they reach to put it into the sheriff's sale anyway.
Well at this and I have another point. -- they would make the -- connection lights already at. But ten to fifteen seconds. Awful they -- one of them turned to green mean that would eliminate a lot of back and and they can put the cameras that they if you run the red -- here gosh darn guilty yeah but -- can't read it and just 152. And I'm not parade in property check it moderate failed to act signed an attack in people who have money is it and property taxes you're acting -- old folks with no increase in income that the cost the live and hasn't -- up.
What do you think about the lie in what do you think about my statement that. I'm I'm I'm -- I'm not interested in getting rid of homestead exemption and and frankly have had many conversations -- about the pros and cons arrays and a 250. What. You should give you should raise it.
Well sure look at property values have gone up. Men building is still -- payment there was twenty years ago.
Yeah well yeah MBA gets it gets re done if you haven't if you haven't upgraded it but let me ask you this if they raised that I made a point about. This everybody should pay slump that I mean to and I threw out fifty dollars and if you own a piece of property -- in the house yeah you -- homestead exemption. Opinion in for the first 75 but everybody should -- something everybody should pay something because you used the same services so a 25 dollar. You know tax and then and then after that. And -- you know what if if you if if your house is worth more than 75 in and you gotta pay on top of it more than you pay on top of it will be how -- gonna get tax everybody pays like a small flat feet.
That's fine but it used to be that what this thing he wasn't other municipality. Why aren't collecting and property taxes that they would reimburse the exemption you I don't know if that's still in effect. Now the word that 75 and below which reimbursed by the state that municipalities but what they weren't collecting. I'd like to know if that's still in a.
I don't know you got Maine M and a but I'll I'll tell you the truth I mean I don't know why the station reimbursing them money ME if you own a piece of property. This since since property is taxed everybody should brace trumpet and I'm I am the phone as cigarette 25 blocks because I had this kind of debate with somebody before. And a caller called opening goes I don't wanna pay. I don't wanna pay. Money taxes on my house so that you pay less and it's gone I'm not gonna pay less. I'm still gonna pay what I pay -- definitely something could you own a piece of property and you use on the services and I'm painful.
Well of course yeah we should say something. But the fact is these little low women. Like guy who got -- Social Security increase but that the cut the living did not go up mode you could over me when I go to the treasury still. I -- vitamin yesterday that we 115550. Killed last month it 1298 this month. Rumor you don't need Acosta live in didn't go up -- And London right so you know. I think everybody should take some that I agree with that -- our hundred dollar.
Or even 25 you know I mean. If everybody who's not paying anything right now because I don't know how many people are out there but of everybody who's not paying any thing at all right now we're to pay 25 dollars. That would that would probably come a -- couple to 300000 dollars in the city if not more than that.
I would like to see a list that the number of properties at a worse X numbers of dollar how many properties that worked 40050000. I don't think it's in many -- 175000. Some by everybody should pay a little thumb that I agree with you and edit them but it all on -- a few.
True I mean as an as as the argument comes up that that they need to be fair across the board they do need to be fair across the board and that way. Even if you're not here across the board released opinions on. Anyway I got a simple way to six owning 7866889087. Or toll free line got a couple of calls wanna talk about this duke. I'll take that do you think the city should give away property if if somebody they give it to will generate tax revenue. How -- a deal with a blight and also we talk to Mike to tell DA in our first -- do you think we're gonna turn that. Are we gonna -- do that with the same sense sense for the first time I mean they've broken so many. Previous -- taboos but it's like nobody ever lost their last three games won a Super Bowl guess what women do we did that we've already broken a whole bunch of those. So now they've been and they managed to hang on. To almost all of their core players that armored corps reserves. No other team's done that every time somebody wants the Super Bowl other teams come and rain all the good players and all the good coaches and they didn't do that with the saints so you think we're gonna -- that. Your calls -- what -- 260187. And a cup of coffee we are told. Commercial -- left until all. They're gonna show up tonight. He probably is a bunch but he indicated properties and that's what we're talking about. Right now bad amongst other things -- six only seventy as the number here 866889087. Near total remind -- who spoke with. With Daryl Williams the assessor borrowings Paris last hour should the city be it troops Beatrice move on Nebraska. Given away the city is given away the city owned property to people who will. Generate tax revenue and so what you think about that that and more are we gonna -- that. With the saints let's get back to the -- Jennifer uptown thanks for hanging on your WW up.
I -- bad. -- I would Connie and say I want you people don't realize the implications as the camera and is there are -- I'm about to -- great job that allow you pay our tax is. Com by saying in participate and then -- it it's it ain't. People red light camera right now are condoning -- that to -- our top are on the art of living our top line is they went out. If you are provided a company vehicle a lot of printing company vehicles -- a -- fully company not out of we need entity cameras -- having a lot and -- April mean it you don't know you've gotten an elected tonight timing happened he ally -- and hearing today in the nice thing that you got that ticket. -- yet it fleet company is paid why I'm not before it happened to me. Before I was meant by I had gotten -- new and cool the next yeah we met the street at this thing it would happen maybe thirty.
At mile an hour I'm a lot that will actually pull this ad campaign with 35. And it's when he I would for the gold mountain it's actually when I drop -- it's -- during a goal and for the good of the albeit and I think what they call it goes from 35 to twenty I. I really got a web like ticket back to back didn't even know how I know who immediately I got -- Murton. I would've got that second one well.
The fact that it took a month for you to find out about it means that the fines -- going yeah.
The board accompanied police company notified me via email. I hit the big ticket come much and I -- that would have a comfort try aimed at getting there were it not want to could be it was during school. What a couple of okay but -- until 840 top high we got that anger and because you're -- at any. They want a rental type we've got to the interest and a lot with the black shingle and say it schooled and power. And thank Carl going into.
When he yeah none Ochoa and I've had I've had more than one caller call in and go yeah that might be what they say but there they. -- these are people who like really have a problem with the red light camera companies in this further concern the whole thing is a -- stamp you know.
Well that in the end but what commitment the mayor and then -- calling people under need to understand. Which may New Orleans a wonderful it was ideal city to live and a tie between. I had it on our equipment company I am on probation if I get one more. I have the right to fire me there's two -- you. To -- in this position and how fired. Somebody in the -- Everett. We are great employees we have actually record nothing on my driving record. But he'd rather like. They would be -- pick out what -- that that dollar -- the tape and -- on. This fleet company a processing -- should we get are constantly getting that money old out of our paycheck. I'm the week the week with a very likely lose our jobs if I were to leave my job I'm dot com out of the city on it and and I want to -- I'm tired of the parking tickets but -- may. We had to get rescued them brand last night to. Our doctor that worked very long hours dedicate their lives to helping others went out for Derrick along that are bought and get what they. Was at try to park and it's not clearly marked. They come -- a -- on it can't it can't. Marking the meat -- L port deepening American -- unreadable. So you keep -- city -- aren't there for that day you're gonna get it try you know parking ticket. The point where it's very frustrating and it's another -- stating -- in the city of annual.
Asked as the mayor and other people come up and say they're trying to do things and make things better your point blank telling them mom my first question you know is and I got a breakaway from those here. I mean if if if you get one more tickets you're gonna lose your job what's more important near the fleet vehicle or your job mommy not quit use in the car news --
I actually had this conversation and it would not brand and I'm at apple eight. Where but I kept it I can't beat you -- I mean it is it -- going by another car and driver actually. She could get in trouble I'm not even -- company vehicle. Drink -- trying it would.
And what do you work for a rock and a hard place incorporated I mean you know first thing I would do honorable -- on the car and then. I'd I'd I'd damn sure would go down the same road that I got to take it on gold canyon drive down that.
I Iraq boy that street. One accidentally went down I wasn't banking -- can't neither can any kind of burying claiming your great. I wasn't the point that but I I quickly at the break. And look down at the phenomena are. -- on the odometer is it just see why halfback with -- and but you're -- it's gotten into.
I don't mean I've had I've I've had people call in and and say. Let's not kid ourselves and there have been rearing coalitions because some people loved. C a flash and almost and slam on the brakes there's a light turns yellow I just spent the weekend open in Kentucky and Louisville. And you know what they have downtown they have the little hand signals slow fruit for you -- across the street. And those things count down from ten seconds to let you know how many more seconds there -- before the light turns yellow so. If you really and truly want a safety issue going on there may be which a look at that I gotta step away don't thanks what do told Jennifer I go. I'd I'd get me a GPS and drive different places around some -- a bunch of stuff in the in the pot. Take it all your calls Iran -- On the sport surely -- semi WW bonus -- show. 260187866889087. Or toll for our got a bunch of stuff in though. In the pot here. We talked this morning I want to the next morning we talk to 1 o'clock with -- Mike to TO DA about the saints are we gonna -- that. And I had -- Williams on the assessor and we talked about homestead exemption and I got into like red light cameras and a gun into should the city. Have a better plan for blighted property and other towns have cities have gone to the point where they're giving away city owned property to people who will generate tax revenue. So all of that is in the plot so let's get to the phones. Annette how you don't thanks for hanging on your and a good idea.
I'm doing fine on the morning to tell you I did get ticket. And -- in a bad light and I -- how can it be possible. I turned the iPhone rather with a towel and then canal street and -- my husband bad did you stop before you turn. All the supposed to do that. -- I'm telling you I'm very strongly in favor of the red light cameras are needed to find out how I learned that the hard way. And I think again that is live and on even your previous caller we need to slow down later on -- way to get to Barkley earned this draft. Cooper our own that -- sacred territory he get -- it's well I don't. No attempt to turn out there that might actually Hillary who aren't a lot and I did pick up and learn from that previous college -- before you should not reluctant. I'm offended if the good -- karma whatever they save lives and sometimes you need to quote error.
Morale sometimes they save lives and sometimes they don't one of the things that you and I don't know your particular situation although I do know that area that you are. It's a bit -- a lot of times the way these cameras are set they have like these two white lines in the street. And you stop and before you go through the intersection and you can stop and turn right on red. What you you have to pull up X distance to see. Down the street to see whether or not you can go well as far as cameras concerned as you should stop like twenty or thirty feet back.
You know. About Batman beat velvet in my tank you know they have those that showed pictures that you can't keep you can't really -- too much in the picture. But you can click on instant the video. And in the video clearly you could say I slowed down but I never came.
I know and then I'm had a lot of calls like yours who said no they have a big -- call that a ruling stopped and Amanda Amanda. Mendoza us mark it's Mendoza Robert Mendoza on who is salute the guy and the city used in charge of those cameras and he's come on and made those -- economists are rolling stop. However you can technically follow the law by stopping. And then going but if you if you're I have -- inch over this white line. -- the camera tag junior get a ticket and then move her grief you've got to go through to find it. This is -- is more expensive than a ticket itself and that's what some recordings of people that we're now bit ahead in ain't in -- instance one mirror -- I think that you know what I look on the bright side you got a car does a lot of -- a lot of people in this world only an older car -- Brian and I did talk thank you thanks so much to 601 examining. Warren opinions alliger and a --
Hey John Leo hey you want Thomas is -- June. Yet at me -- better than I -- done Sandra and everybody.
Everybody but everybody. Week you want thought they would rather give thank you got you good work thank back down it can't -- But at that thing about hope they get -- About -- can't you pay anything you've got a low ground if you build a -- you know that the people are. -- housing well grounded it but I shared over a I trail you call me drug you pretty. To acknowledge every year in a meeting did gates. To be added up pretty good then he'd be -- could have as many tax.
True but then again we also have the debate about it no we don't we don't have the best schools and a world and other other places that seem to have better schools better better war. Little responses to. -- tests better quality of life quote unquote and -- I guess it just depends on who's actually doing the study. But they say the more I the more money that's collected yes.
Yes that's the bad thing -- you don't have as much money gone into the government where you can help things that need help.
Then why don't go to this -- state of only four point one or two million people. If you listened so scar gel although lieutenant governor of the other -- their big -- all moratorium rally in this state. Sent to over 250 billion dollars from 05 -- seven and that's after Katrina. So after the two years the year of in the two following years after Katrina when we were bureau really try to build it up down here in the southern part of the Katrina and Rita. -- Do we still managed to come up with 250 billion dollars plus the -- to the DC so earlier and I.
I don't know that I'd pick of the alleged to have man you know but -- did I get -- ever use go to India.
Oh yeah I appreciate it man glad everybody is doing this say the offer him a fundamental right Julio or. I take care -- promising army Togo. Six only seven isn't a misstep and away Henry are next up warrior Paul's got emails to bunch of stuff in the pot here and this was shown at a grade seven and up to me an email here. That's the city don't want the only city with a -- exemption. And then but what they live a little sure the big city in Paris property taxes not homes and exempt from city property taxes. Like we are from parish property taxes. I -- look into that Mora and I I wish I of the seamen and on about an advanced Gerald Williams about I'm not I'm sure Obama -- again. -- print them up and put it in my file into Buchan remembered asking that question explore around. 260187866. Sitting on 0870 or toll free my lots of stuff and -- today this homestead exemption think. I'm in favor of the homes that exemption I know why I was there I think is a good idea however. Should everybody -- something to. Should everybody who owns a piece of property paint something and should the city giveaway city property to generally revenue. And the red light cameras which is always a hot topic over here because people either him Obama carries engine telling -- thanks for -- we don't --
Say yes but as you go on man and moment you know yeah. -- little irritated there's build the whole red light camera thing is scam and a money grab. I think it I think it's City Council if they're really really represent the citizens this that the city to launch should mandate through an ordinance that. Department of public works. Properly times. All these lights on the east intersections and includes a double red light on the intersection and you see being they've built it nothing. There will get nothing out of these cameras wherever you first first secondly school zones. -- gold zones that are working. Force schools that are boarded up there's one and Orleans avenue right near -- north -- the school over on Cheney and -- border options Katrina. There's wanna canal street crichton here. Right near. -- and high school they don't prep schools ultra high schools to put up -- grammar schools the grammar school around the corner Cleveland avenue still boarded up and Katrina. I challenge you to have Mendoza. Remove those schools zones or at least cover they'll lose. Schools -- unsigned until those schools become operable again. Because I've seen an OPD writing tickets in the school zones on the school zones to -- the schools don't even exists and.
Now that that's that's. I've never seen that but I'll tell you the truth I now that you mention -- I have seen schools on signs in front of schools that were boarded up via.
Yeah and I've seen I've seen in fact I even pulled a guy -- pulled over to ask a lady watch who's gonna -- and now Mike did I'm gonna charge stop. -- I had ma'am I have to tell you is that where you live Dutch Russian president got to tell you need to drive around the corner. And take pictures of the school buildings boarded up and bring you -- go to court and try to ticket it's ridiculous last week mean debate. These sweeps they're making. Through neighborhoods and everything I grew up a thirty year a group lived in essentially the thirty years. I've never knew what -- may was except The Beatles song you know and never saw a meter maid now you can even parked in front of your own house faced in the wrong direction need to take it won't. Get a ticket. If it's ridiculous to help kill me where you shall we wear our insurance rates. Try automobiles are going down because the red light cameras show me because we're better parking. Community where our insurance rates are going down for our vehicles and I'll say okay go ahead rattled to get you want. But it ain't happening and it suppresses and it's effect in the people who live here and pay their property taxes and pay their sales taxes that you wonder why people wanna leave new launched.
Don't appreciate the call you know what I have seen that I have seen. I have seen -- never seen -- get a ticket but yet they're still -- schools on signs. Around boarded up schools so that should come down I mean that's that's our right. I do six only seven extra traffic report and maybe a red light cameras were noticing it. And it will be back tomorrow your calls -- sports show and a Bolivia.
By the way tonight at 7 o'clock had been Christ church cathedral. Call on saint Charles -- and I nineteen think drove them under the New Orleans navy band Crescent City -- going to be performing.
7 o'clock yet tonight Christ church cathedral saint Charles -- on nineteen the norms navy band. Crescent City crews a contemporary artists whom -- Which provides their audiences with a exceptional performances of musical style so that'll be tonight. In call 895660289566. Or two to find out more about it. Coming up next on sports star Bobby and geek you're the big a press conference states saints camp. And they'll be tournament bad saints players report to the camp. Are we gonna do that that's of course not -- and then Mitt and Mike to toady who joined me earlier today seems to think. We have the we have the tools we have the talent that we have the tools two seasons in a row most times when it's when a team wins a Super Bowl. Other teams come along and then take everybody away from them but. Except for a couple of key players they can't they've come on everybody. So going to be sports star coming up next to six owning somebody mister microphones candy in awhile until you don't give a.
Conduit arm yourself to get an answer what's think about homeless well. I don't really have a George probably red light cameras if it were affordable. And more efficiently. We got a lot of the more I'm company cameras we have but if they got Canon camera. The city H -- it's a hundred dollars or 35 dollars. Topic 200 you need to act like eighteen million dollars the year. I couldn't do some money don't -- would like this means the public. Applied I'd like -- CP and L statement that -- out of money used to be used wisely. And I we have a problem that kind of want to be generated if attacked twice that.
Yeah you know Adobe interest things say because again -- in his speech in the stay the city address that what apparel that we are and I don't know. Nor do I know of anybody here who will immediately you can tell me whether or not they put up those kinds of of those kinds of studies and let people know one way or -- I'd be interest and no I jumped as the Paris right now I mean they're being sued by the red like company because they they put the quiet it's on an. And they're still sit on the money that all that it was all generated so happy you know I am at the very least whether or not we like him don't like him at a time ago. Yet the very least you gotta give the money that they generated and then they fulfill their end of the bargain. Technically is just on and forget the best bargain. And in the in the offing here.
I think somebody might go to big deal and I think administrative cost might be very very high. And like so much money yeah we really are generating -- wind situation you'd be very surprised. How much this camera cost and where the money's not going.
And you know what sled dog probably won't because quite frankly after doing this show for six years. I don't get surprised that too many things anymore. Can only did I appreciate it does a good that's a good question how much money. Literally is generated by by -- by the red light cameras does that justify putting more oriented. And in what's the latest -- on the crime cameras. Which you know -- come Tuesday. Garland has Ronald -- on the first Tuesday of every month. So this coming Tuesday he'll have a -- talking about that and that's something you should bring up call him up. Here during -- early -- live at 12 o'clock hour and don't show on Tuesday wrong sherpas will be here asked him that question he should have the kind of information. At his fingertips because he is the chief of police -- right. Sports talk is up next tomorrow role. I'll be talking with dozens -- attorney doesn't ferry. About whether or not just through VP. There's.
