Louisiana lawmakers have delayed a vote on a sales tax bill within Governor Jeff Landry’s tax reform plan. The package aims to cut around $2 billion in income and corporate taxes but has faced opposition over a proposed sales tax expansion on services like lawn care, tattoos, and coin-operated laundries. This tax would raise an estimated $500 million to offset the lost revenue from the tax cuts. Political Analyst Bernie Pinsonat says resistance in the House has cast doubt on the bill’s future, as 70 votes are needed for passage.
