Except natural gas on horizontal wells for the first 2 years. We should be taxing that imo.

Or you could legalize it and collect tens of millions of tax dollars.
Why is everything viewed as a potential tax source these days? How about we NOT tax every goddamn thing on the planet. How about we get the government down to the size that it's supposed to be at? You know, where it provides for infrastructure, common defense, and not much else.
The government is like Ashley Graham...bigger and fatter is never the correct answer, not matter how many people want it to be.

Because the natural gas is Louisiana's resource and is a tax break.
Even Texas taxes it as 3.5%, with a large % if not all going to universities.
It isn't attracting new business, the natural gas itself is. It's stupid

Why not both? It isn't either/or. Cut the bloat, get rid of meaningless severances that hurt the state, build from there
Your idealism, while correct imo, isn't realistic today, nor does it provide any short term relief
The state constitution restricts cuts and requires a balanced budget
