Tax reform special legislative session to convene in Louisiana on Nov. 6 | Louisiana
SUMMARY: Governor Jeff Landry has convened a special session of the Louisiana Legislature from November 6 to 25 to address tax reform aimed at modernizing the state‘s tax system and spurring economic growth. Proposed measures include a 3% flat income tax rate, expanded digital sales tax, and the elimination of local prescription drug taxes. The reforms prioritize tax relief for seniors and teachers, while the wealthiest individuals may receive the majority of tax benefits. Critics warn that the rapid schedule could hinder substantial debate on these significant changes, which include an overhaul of Article VII of the state constitution and other key financial adjustments.

Monday 5 AM Tropical Update: Tropical development possible in Caribbean Sea
SUMMARY: Around late October and early November, there is potential for tropical development, though it won’t directly impact our area. October 28th marks the anniversary of Hurricane Zeta, a significant storm that hit Port Fourchon. While this new system is unlikely to replicate that event, it’s vital to monitor the Caribbean islands as we move into next week. Locally, we finally expect some rain after a prolonged dry spell, with gusty winds increasing wildfire risk. Showers are forecasted for Halloween; it won’t be a washout, but it’s wise to have a backup plan for trick-or-treating.
No impacts are expected along the Gulf Coast for the next week
