Opposed artist rebates because the performers aren't named, questioned Visit Baton Rouge's effectiveness, and noted a prior rebate went to a canceled concert.

Visit Baton Rouge's presenter cited $24 million in projected spending, $1.8 million in local tax revenue, and roughly $160,000 in rebates; noted nothing was paid on last year's canceled event.
