Gov. Bobby Jindal says, “Over the past five years, we overhauled our ethics laws, revamped workforce development programs, eliminated burdensome business taxes, and passed landmark reforms to help give every child in Louisiana the opportunity to get a great education,” in a guest column. “Every challenge we have taken on has been about making Louisiana the best place in the world to find a job and raise a family.” The work is starting to pay off, the governor says, citing many improved state rankings for business climate and job growth since the recession. But “there are still too many Louisianians looking for work, too many Louisianians that want to find better-paying jobs, and still too many Louisianians living in other states because they couldn’t find work here,” Jindal says. “That’s unacceptable. I ran for governor to make sure that all of our sons and daughters could pursue their dreams here at home. We have made progress on that front, but our work is far from over.” Jindal says his proposal to overhaul the state’s tax code will create jobs and allow more Louisianians to find jobs in their home state.
