Such bonds or other debt obligations shall not be a charge upon the other income and revenues of the commission which are not pledged to the payment of the bonds, or of any other political subdivision of the state of Louisiana. Any project or undertaking by the commission from which revenue is or will be derived, whether by lease, rents, fees, charges, or otherwise, shall be considered a revenue producing work of public improvement of the commission.
