How is the state off the rails? It seems no worse than it's ever been.

Sadly, this. The only thing capable of getting this state on the rails in the first place is a new constitution that:
1. Decentralizes decision-making by restoring power to parish governments
2. Greatly reduces the tax burden at the state level
3. Massively simplifies the tax code to make it less daunting for new and out-of state businesses to navigate
4. Wholesale changes to our permitting and licensing regimes to lower barriers to entry for businesses and workers
5. Consolidation of some rural parishes to more efficiently pool resources
6. Elimination of dozens of unelected boards and commissions to return power to local government
7. Stronger public bid laws to cut down on change order shenanigans and bogus redundant studies
8. Restore education to local control with minimal state oversight and funding
9. Elimination of the line item veto
10. Restricting gas tax funds to only be used for road construction, and no funds permitted to go to DOTD overhead, ports, busses, police, etc.
11. Fully legalized gambling and other vices
12. End of mandatory distributor model for alcohol
