The lunch will be at Noon on Thursday, May 17 at Drusilla Seafood Restaurant, 3482 Drusilla Lane in Baton Rouge. Reservations are highly recommended due to limited dining area. Tickets are $25.00 per person and LWVBR Members receive a 20% member discount.

The governor's plan will mainly benefit corporations and the wealthy, while working and middle-class families will pay more for services and products we use every day such as diapers, garbage collection, haircuts and home repairs. Louisiana’s tax system certainly needs to be improved, but this is the wrong way to do it.
Gov. Jeff Landry has called the Legislature into a special session to overhaul Louisiana’s tax structure.
