## Resource

Louisiana’s first full fiscal year post-2024 tax overhaul reveals a dramatic revenue shift: total state coffers dipped by $934 million, but sales tax surged 15% to $5.2 billion—now the state’s top revenue source. The move to slash income taxes for individuals and corporations has clearly redirected funding toward consumer spending, while individual income tax fell 19% and corporate taxes plummeted 49%. Despite the overall drop, most categories met or exceeded forecasts, with sales, personal income, and gas taxes hitting or surpassing targets—except corporate taxes, which came in at 97%. The state’s new fiscal identity? Spending-driven, not tax-driven. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
