B. Except as provided in this section, money received by the authority shall be deposited in the fund, including, but not limited to:
(1) the proceeds of bonds issued by the authority or from a loan to the authority made pursuant to the Spaceport Development Act;
(2) interest earned upon money in the fund;
(3) property or securities acquired through the use of money belonging to the fund;
(4) all earnings of property or securities acquired pursuant to Paragraph (3) of this subsection;
(5) all lease or rental payments received from the authority from a project;
