Two New Tax Brackets for High-Income Households Would Limit State Economic Damage

This report proposes a solution that will limit cuts to crucial services. By creating new brackets and raising rates for the highest-income households, the state would be able to sustain its investments in education, health care, public safety, and other services.

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.
