Doesn't most of the state's revenue come from the southern part of the state and that revenue supply a great deal of funding for their part of the state?

Yes, way more than half of the state's GDP comes from New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Lafayette alone. That's not counting the Lake Charles or coastal areas.
