Will Green, President and CEO of the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry joins the show to discuss the failure of Constitutional Amendment #2 at the polls over the weekend. Despite the disappointing results, Green highlighted the successes from the past year, including the elimination of the corporate franchise tax, reduction of corporate and personal income taxes, and overall positive tax policy changes.
These efforts have improved Louisiana’s business climate and state ranking. Green emphasized the need to continue improving tax policies in the upcoming fiscal session. He also explained the challenges with the inventory tax and the potential benefits of the failed amendment, which aimed to provide mechanisms for local governments to opt out of the inventory tax and centralize the sales tax system. Despite the setback, Green remains optimistic about future progress in tax reform.
