“John Bel Edwards’ policies have been great for Texas, but bad for Louisiana,” said RGA Deputy Communications Director John Burke. “Since Edwards took office, an estimated 55,000 workers have left Louisiana – many going across the border to Texas – while the state has been consistently ranked in the bottom ten for business climate under his watch. Louisiana deserves better than John Bel Edwards’ high-tax, anti-business agenda .”
