This interview is with Wendy Thibodeaux who is the Assessor for Lafourche Parish in Louisiana. For those outside of Louisiana this interview will inform you of the Assessors amount of discretion that they can use, a lot of information on how taxes are collected through millages and sales tax, and how the money is channeled to individual taxing districts. But even bigger you will learn how to be professionally involved with your Assessor for your Parish, County, and State to find ways to get them to use their discretion to not tax as much when they don't need to. And people in Louisiana have the opportunity to vote on eliminating a "mandate" in our Louisiana Constitution that forces Assessors to tax us even when they don't need it.  And in this interview you will learn how voting for this Constitutional Amendment will get rid of the mandate to tax you when government doesn't need it.  

**** There is bonus content in this podcast after the interview.  They are not long segments but packed full of information.
