It’s time we balance Louisiana’s scales
MARCH 30th, 2023
We desperately need to make long-term economic investment plans for our state. The way to do that isn’t through eliminating Louisiana’s state income tax or cutting our homestead exemptions.
Eliminating state income taxes and homestead exemptions disproportionately impacts low-income and working-class people. Since the money has to come from somewhere, some legislators plan to increase our sales tax to make up for the difference – which is already the highest in the nation at 9.55%.
As a financial planner and investor who has worked for regular Louisiana families for decades, I understand taxes and business. No one likes paying taxes, but we pay them knowing that we need them to keep our state running and thriving. It’s time we level the playing field some more and fight for the right for us to all prosper.
Investing in our future,

Dustin Granger
Candidate for Louisiana State Treasurer
