Why an attorney is calling to halt tax collections in LSU Economic Development DistrictBATON ROUGE — While the LSU Economic Development District has collected more than $876,000 in sales taxes as of May, the district has acknowledged that it’s unclear which tracts were excluded from the district and being used for residential purposes when the district was created, according to the Business Report. Glasper’s lawsuit challenges the taxes imposed by the LSU EDD and its Athletic Subdistrict, which began collecting a separate tax at the beginning of April. The LSU EDD reportedly admits that one of its goals was to levy a tax without an election. But in their discovery responses, the defendants of Glasper’s lawsuit said they were “not aware of any maps showing the specific areas within the LSU EDD beyond maps depicting the LSU EDD outer perimeter.” District officials say the state statute establishes their legal boundaries and repeatedly said the law “speaks for itself.”
