Louisiana really needs to diversify the tax base and have a stable model that won't fold every time the oil and gas market dips.
people need to quit thinking oil & gas will ever support our state government again, it doesn't now and won't in the future. in fact it will support less and less as shale production continues to increasingly dominate. it can't be done here like it can in other places
louisiana production is on a steep, long-term decline and it ain't coming back. gambling, marijuana, or online sales taxes won't bail us out either.
we're going to have to actually finally pay our own way

Gave you an upvote on this
Now shut your whore mouth with all this talk of paying our own way, etc. This is Louisiana, we won't do that and when the money is not there for basic services or education, we'll blame the politicians and their "corruption" as we always do.....It's safer that way.
