Louisiana is on the lower end of the middle. I'd imagine before JBE it was in the bottom 1/4 in taxes. Adjusted for Cost of living it is the ninth most friendly state so you got that going for you.

Actually if you follow the link, we are 19th overall and 13th. adjusted for cost of living.

Also note the article was written on March 15, 2016.
The Edwards increases didn't take hold until later. In fact the sales tax increase didn't start until April 1, 2016 and that's two weeks after the article was written.

I doubt the Edwards' tax increases have been included in the linked research.
