Pelican Institute plan calls for tax reform, spending limits | Louisiana
SUMMARY: The Pelican Institute for Public Policy aims to reform Louisiana‘s fiscal strategy, emphasizing the phased elimination of income taxes, including corporate franchise taxes. The Institute stresses that tax reform needs to be coupled with strict spending controls to prevent instability, as seen in Kansas. Louisiana’s state spending has risen dramatically, creating a projected budget deficit of $500-700 million over three years. To counter unchecked spending, they propose limiting expenditure growth to population and inflation rates. Additionally, simplifying the complex tax code is advocated to enhance economic growth, potentially adding over $2 billion to the economy and creating 5,000 jobs within a year.
