Study Finds Louisiana Among Worst States for Taxpayer ROI
Tax Day can be a sore subject for many Americans. A recent study has determined which state’s taxpayers are getting the most bang for their buck and Louisiana ranked at the bottom.
The study measured the quality of a state’s education, health, safety, infrastructure, and pollution. Louisiana ranks within the bottom five for each of these categories.
The Center Square reported:
While Louisiana has some of the lowest taxes paid per capita (10th lowest), the state has the worst overall government services in the nation, according to an analysis from personal finance website WalletHub
Louisiana taxpayers are reliant on their elected officials to directly change the state’s ROI ranking, according to (WalletHub analyst Jill) Gonzalez.
