The House and Senate are set to convene this afternoon as the work continues with the rewrite of the state’s tax code. Jeff Palermo has the story…

Cut 3 (34) “…I’m Jeff Palermo.”

The LSU Tigers dropped their third straight game on Saturday losing to the Florida Gators 27 to 16. LSU won nearly every statistical category in the box score, but the Tigers only scored one touchdown and continued to give up big plays on defense. LSU has been eliminated from an opportunity to play in the SEC Championship game and can no longer win ten games this season.

Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser has raised concerns over proposed tax reform measures that would eliminate Louisiana’s film incentive program and historic building tax credits. Nungesser says these programs have proven their value, pointing out that the film incentive program has brought significant investment and jobs to Louisiana, while historic tax credits preserve our unique cultural heritage and revitalize communities.

Cut 5 (14) “…preserves the history.” 

Carencro (KAREN-crow) Representative Julie Emerson supports the reforms, saying by cutting these incentives, they can reduce taxes for every business in the state.

Cut 7 (08) “…business in Louisiana.”

The special session must end one week from today.
