tree-rather-than-forest

Apparently, the LA media missed this bit of good news about our state as I haven’t see it reported anywhere.

Yesterday, our “Roads Scholar” governor stated:  “[O]ur economic development department now reports that Louisiana’s business tax structure no longer is an obstacle to attracting new business investment and jobs to our state.” (Emphasis mine)

Very interesting, but that seems like his focus is on the tree and not the forest.

Since 85% to 95% of our state’s economic growth will come not from new businesses, but from EXISTING BUSINESS surviving and prospering, it begs the question:  What does our economic development department have to say about the current tax structure on the survival of EXISTING businesses?
