Issue Position: Long Term Plan to Fix the Broken Budget

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2019
Issues: Constitution Higher Education Health and Health Care Economy and Fiscal Government Budget and Spending

Over the last eight years, Louisiana has continued to use short-term solutions to fix the budget. More often than not, the solution was to cut higher education and healthcare, which are the only two expenditures not protected by the Louisiana Constitution. This is an unsustainable plan. It is critical for this state to have a constitutional convention to allow the Legislature to cut all spending programs in times of revenue shortfalls. More importantly, the solution isn't more taxes.
