Gov. Jeff Landry and state Sen. Blake Miguez engaged in a heated public exchange on social media regarding Louisiana’s tax code overhaul. Miguez called for a clear plan from Landry to reduce government spending before considering revenue measures. Landry responded by urging Miguez to focus on job creation and economic prosperity rather than political posturing. Miguez emphasized the need for spending reform alongside tax discussions, with a constitutional cap on government growth being a positive step. Despite their disagreement, Miguez confirmed his support for Landry and expressed interest in his budget proposals. The conversation highlighted the importance of both tax and spending reform in the ongoing legislative session. Landry did not provide further comment on the matter.
