Louisiana legislators will meet in special session beginning Nov. 6 to consider Republican Gov. Jeff Landry's attempt at an ambitious overhaul of the state's tax structure, according to a formal proclamation Landry issued Monday.
Landry has been talking up his ideas for tax changes for months. His proposals have included reducing the income tax and charging sales taxes for more items and services. Teacher pay and a possible reworking of the state court system also are in the 23-item session call proclamation, which lays out the subjects lawmakers can consider during the session, which could last until Nov. 25.
