Here if Forbes ranking of State and Local tax burden using the 2016 tax data from the Heritage Foundation. I have been looking for the data with the 2017 and 2018 tax data to see where LA ranks

But as of say as of 2017, based on 2016 data, LA was the 6th lowest tax burden state in the USA.
LA Gas taxes are as of 2019, July, the 7th lowest, sorry about that, not 2nd lowest. But still, when you tax sales, Income, Property and gas taxes, LA is in the lowest 10 overall taxed states. So I don’t know where all these adds I have been seeing on TV say otherwise. Facts don’t back it up.

I’m looking at 2018-2019 Louisiana tax ranking figures from taxfoundation.org. (Gas taxes paint a very different picture from reality.)
Current LA rankings are:
Overall 44
Corporate 36
Individual 32 (a whopping -10 drop from 2018)
Sales taxes 50 (last in the nation)
Property taxes 32
So I disagree completely that we are among the lowest taxed states.
As for JBE, signing a completely meaningless, court-blocked abortion restriction bill doesn’t make him pro-life. It was just a way to fool people into thinking he is, thus garnering more votes which could decide a close race, and keep our state screwed for 4 more years.
We’ll just have to agree to disagree about him.
