Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry announced plans to call the Legislature into a special session in November, the third this year, to reform the state's tax system.

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry said his plan to revamp tax code and lower income tax rates will 'catapult' state to prosperity, population growth.

Gov. Jeff Landry says he will call Louisiana lawmakers into a special session next month to consider major tax reform proposals. Landry says Louisiana’s current tax system is holding the state back. Louisiana also faces a looming projected $700 million budget shortfall due to the expiration of a temporary sales tax.

Jeff Landry spent several hours Wednesday trying to get Republican legislators on board with his plan to dramatically rewrite Louisiana’s tax code during a special session he wants to call in November.
