Landry announces plans for tax reform special session | Louisiana
SUMMARY: Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry plans a special legislative session in November to reform the state‘s tax system, arguing that the current structure puts Louisiana at a competitive disadvantage. His proposed plan aims to reduce personal income taxes, eliminating them for incomes up to $12,500 and instituting a flat 3% rate for higher earners. The reforms would expand sales taxes to include more services, with Landry suggesting they would boost take-home pay and help close a $700 million budget shortfall. An independent analysis of the proposals is being conducted, as Louisiana faces challenges attracting businesses and residents due to its complex tax system.

SUMMARY: Terion Thomas has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of Baton Rouge therapist William Abraham. Thomas was arrested in Texas for driving Abraham’s car, which raised suspicions after Abraham’s body was discovered rolled up in a tarp along Highway 51. The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office reported evidence of foul play. Their relationship remains unclear, and investigators found no evidence that Thomas was a client of Abraham. Thomas is a well-known internet personality, popular as “Mr. Prada” on TikTok, and will be extradited to East Baton Rouge Parish for court proceedings.
