Tax cuts will worsen budget shortfalls β’ Invest in Louisiana
[β¦]
Why can't Jeff Landry accept that Louisiana voters said No?
"This package would leave us with massive budget gaps to fill. The bills are part of a larger plan to resurrect one of the amendments that voters rejected by a 2-to-1 margin on March 29."

Louisiana state legislator pushes tax cuts, but economists say the numbers don't add up
A Louisiana state legislator is pushing bills to cut income and sales taxes. But economists say the numbers don't add up.
"Economists say the proposals would leave lawmakers with a massive shortfall of $590 million in 2027 when they meet to pass the budget and later have to face voters."
This is the resurrection of Amendment #2 β which we already overwhelmingly said NO to.

Whatβs worse? Theyβre actively looking for ways to avoid you getting to vote again. π‘ How little respect do you have to have for the citizens who elected you to not take NO for an answer?

Remember the amendments you all rejected just 2 months ago?
Jeff Landry got his buds in the legislature to reintroduce them in little bits β like we wouldnβt notice. π€¨
You know what to do. Call your Reps and Senators today, and tell them: #SayNoToThemAll! β

The strength of the opposition is certain to send shockwaves through the Louisiana political world and serves as a first referendum on Landryβs rocky first two years in office, after he took office with a record-low vote total.

Saturdayβs vote sends a resounding message that the agenda behind these amendments never had a mandate and that voters are sick of being lied to, shut out, and taken for granted.

The defeat of the amendments is also a huge blow to Governor Jeff Landry, who pushed the changes to the constitution after failing to call a constitutional convention year.

This is a win for democracy and a win for the people of Louisiana. Voters saw through the smoke and mirrors and saw that these amendments were not written with our interests at heart.

YOU DID IT, LOUISIANA! π
We want to thank everyone who supported our efforts and contributed to the defeat of ALL 4 amendments.
If elected leaders want to make changes to our constitution, we the people have two words of advice:
Do better.

They thought they could sneak in these shady amendments without anyone noticing.
They thought they could get away with an easy win.

These amendments are designed to be deceptive. Politicians omitted parts and resorted to shady workarounds because they lacked support. And these same legislators donβt even fully know whatβs in them. π΅βπ«
Do they deserve your vote? Absolutely not. π
