Courtesy: Baton Rouge Rotary Club

BATON ROUGE- Yesterday Governor John Bel Edwards met with 21 Louisiana Business Executives from all over the state as an effort to create an open dialogue on what to do with the state’s financial woes.   Also on Tuesday,  Louisiana Commissioner of Administration Jay Dardenne made a presentation to the Baton Rouge Rotary Club about the pending “Fiscal Cliff” when Louisiana loses more than one-billion dollars in sales tax revenue when the temporary tax expires in July.  He warns that despite all the budget cuts made,  more will be one the way.
