Throw Me Some Tax-Free Beads Mista

A Daily Meaux reader submitted this piece from the Times-Picayune today. According to the story, a bill passed unanimously through the Senate today saying that members of Mardi Gras Krewes should not pay state sales tax on Mardi Gras throws that they purchase from their organizations. The bill would exempt all Mardi Gras related throws, including dubloons, beads, and cups purchased directly from their Krewe. To qualify for the tax exemption, the Krewe must be a state certified non-profit organization. The bill moves to the House for more debate. Great find Erik....thanks for the submission!
