How about no?

Most businesses aren’t laying people off to save money, they are laying them off because some jackass shut everything down or heavily restricted it.

If the trust fund falls below a balance of $100 million, Louisiana law mandates @LouisianaWorks to impose a surtax on businesses of up to 30% on taxable payroll. This would be a last resort but without intervention, it will almost certainly be necessary. #lagov #lalege

how about letting business get back to business and re-hire their workers instead?

I guess this is the next phase of crippling measures to kill what’s left of businesses.

These pussy politicians in the state have no balls to call a constitutional convention and open up the books.

You have a spending problem Governor Honor Code... do what is right for once (he won't).

30% and you can kiss double-digit % of companies to be gone for good. Then what?

It’s the nail in the coffin for businesses. Increase their payroll costs up to 30%?

C’mon JBE.

Looks like edwards is auditioning for a spot on the Seattle city council when his term in Louisiana expires.

How in the hell did you guys vote for this complete tool over David Vitter and then reelect him?

Because the state is so flush with business development, we can afford to tell a bunch of them to carry their asses.
