Build on upgrade by following reforms through

As Louisiana’s economic fortunes under Republican Gov. Jeff Landry continue to improve, it can’t rob Peter to pay Paul if it expects the progress to continue. With the Legislature endorsing overall tax cuts and the Landry Administration hustling that grabbed hundreds of billions of dollars in new economic development, Fitch Ratings noticed and upgraded the state’s general obligation bond debt (it also recently has upgraded several other kinds of state issuances). That means in the constant revol

Reinvigorated office comes up aces on advice

Questionable spending of Louisiana taxpayer dollars by nonprofit organizations allowed by state government invites wondering why obvious fixes only now seem imminent to be put in place. Recently, the Inspector General’s office, run by IG Angéle Davis, released a report questioning the $113.5 million doled out to various nonprofits for 2026 after a review uncovered questionable payments, inadequate financial reporting and other oversight failures. Several specific items that had been investigated

Most, maybe all, LA amendments likely to pass

Despite the contrary musings of some, expect most, perhaps even all, constitutional amendments plastered on Louisiana’s ballot next month to pass voter muster. Some questions about the chances of the 10 amendments up for vetting have come given that the last two elections featuring these saw every single one go down to defeat. While some speculation centered on whether this signaled a referendum of sorts on state government and its elected officials, more valid explanations focused on idiosyncra

LA black political leaders blame, refuse to learn

Recent comments made by some black political activists show how for them it’s not about advancing the black community, but about advancing black leftist political interests, with a little help from a writer a bit too eager to inject bias into recounting their musings. A story about the impact that black voting turnout could have on elections a fortnight away solicited opinions from state and local elected, party, and interest group leaders revealed a narrowly-construed array of attitudes more in

With surplus, resist urge to not pay down debts

Louisiana doesn’t need to get ahead of itself upon reception of impending budgetary good news. Last week, the Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget approved its typical October fiscal status statement, which is a report made by the Division of Administration on where it determines the state’s final fiscal picture relative to the budget that expired at the end of the state’s fiscal year. DOA now sees the fiscal year 2026 budget producing a surplus of $565 million. While predicted expenditures

Entitled brats illustrate need for new initiative

One incident at the last Louisiana State University Board of Supervisors meeting encapsulates why another item on its agenda is so entirely needed. As by the state’s open meeting laws, after ceremonial matters the Board solicited public comment on items part of the agenda. Whereupon a student from a campus radical organization began issuing constipated “demands,” contrary to the law which says if a public body chooses this option the comment must adhere to an agenda item, which that did not.

Most items on full slate LA voters should approve

Louisiana voters face ten amendments this fall, half dealing with property taxes and most worthy of passage. Let’s see why or why not: #1 – would allow surviving spouses of disabled veterans to continue receiving any property tax exemption at one subsequent location. Exemptions normally should be opposed with broadly-based lower rates preferred, but it’s already in place an exception can be made here for spouses whose spouses sacrificed with at least a 50 percent disability as a way for the stat

Arceneaux laps challenger field in mayoral forums

If viewers learned anything from a Shreveport mayoral forum doubleheader broadcast earlier this week on different television stations sponsored by the Greater Shreveport Chamber of Commerce, it’s that the huge fundraising lead that Republican incumbent Tom Arceneaux has extends also to his knowledge of city affairs and to his program going forward in comparison to his opponents. The pair of events started with one concentrating on economic development and then moving on the next night to the oth

Bossier Parish budget stays on unsustainable path

The 2027 budget for Bossier Parish looks better than the 2026 version in some ways, but similar warning signals still flash. Entering the year, the Parish seemed set on some deficit spending. Operating budgets for the five major government funds – General, Highway, Library, Corrections, and Capital Improvement – then predicted combined $15 million more would be spent than came in, while the rest of the lesser funds was foreseen going $6.5 million in the red. However, for 2027 the General, Librar

LA must resume distasteful but necessary task

As unpleasant as it might be, the show must go on, in Texas, Tennessee, and Louisiana, in order to save lives. Controversy has surrounded carrying out capital punishment as of late. In Tennessee, an execution by lethal injection went wrong, leaving the murderess alive but barely surviving. In Texas, a jihadist sentenced to death for killing over a dozen people at an army base in 2009 will face a firing squad in December that at present the federal government will live stream over the Internet.

LA congressional donation record no surprise

If anything, had Louisiana congressional candidates not pulled in record dollars of campaign donations that would have been unexpected. In sum, this election cycle has produced the highest total ever given to candidacies, in aggregate $74 million. Yet this should surprise no one, because of several factors. First, start with this election cycle offering up two competitive House of Representatives races, a competitive Senate contest, and not having a presidential contest to siphon money from con

More trends argue for eliminating film tax credit

It’s time for Louisiana to stop swimming against the tide and use money thrown away on making movies for more important needs – especially as larger economic trends threaten to wither away the program. Recently, New Orleans’ film office director and city councilors griped about how film production statewide but in the city particularly had taken a tumble. Years ago, a billion dollars a year was coming into the state in production costs, but now that has dropped to $185 million. This matters acco

Democrats use playbook on PSC candidate Atkins

Democrats’ national playbook surfaced in the candidate forum between Republican Caddo Parish Commissioner John Atkins and Democrat City Councilor James Green. They contest the Public Service Commission District 5 seat, which stretches across north Louisiana. Incumbent Democrat Foster Campbell faces the three-term (18 years) limit at year’s end, although he served an additional one after being grandfathered in. Atkins works in asset management, principally in energy. He has served the three-term

NO housing issues exemplify leftist misdiagnoses

The cognitive dissonance, or perhaps strategic planning to sustain its mission, of the political left truly can amaze at times, as continuing housing provision struggles in New Orleans and conflicting government housing policy demonstrate. Last month, the Louisiana Housing Corporation took another step in reorienting the state’s housing policy away from the failed housing first model to a treatment first paradigm. The former insists on finding or building permanent spaces for the homeless regard

Huge money advantage boosts Arceneaux chances

If winning the Shreveport mayor’s race were only a matter of money, Republicans would control that office for another four years. As it is, that only may determine which Republican advances to a runoff. After months of campaigning in 2026, submission of campaign finance reports through Sep. 24 were released yesterday. Incumbent GOP Mayor Tom Arceneaux lapped the field with resources remaining of about a third of a million dollars, after having spent almost that much, although raising only around
