The double impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and a series of natural disasters have taken a devastating toll on Louisiana families and widened the disparities between those struggling and everyone else.
Louisiana needs a path to recovery that invests in our future and helps ensure prosperity for all.
Thanks to billions of dollars in federal Covid relief as well as better-than-expected tax collections, Louisiana has an historic opportunity to put our economy on a path to recovery and invest in a brighter future for tomorrow. The Legislature has more than $3 billion available to spend with few limitations to support workers, address housing needs, invest in our children and families, and make our state more resilient before the next disaster strikes.
