Louisiana Needs a RESET.

Louisiana ranks 41st in population growth from 2010 to 2020, and a dismal 47th in personal income growth. The state has the second-highest poverty rate in the country and one of the highest incarceration rates. Only half of the state’s third graders read on grade level.

Depending on the time period and the benchmark measured, the rankings might shift a few points for better or worse. But the overall picture does not change. It is a story all too familiar to Louisiana’s citizens.

The problems seem daunting, almost intractable, but Louisiana can improve. A long history of poor policy choices created this situation. While there is no quick fix, making the right choices can turn this state around. In fact, it is the only way to do so. We need to change how we do business.

In short, we need a RESET.

That is why the Committee of 100, the Council for a Better Louisiana and the Public Affairs Research Council of Louisiana have partnered since 2019 with a goal to inform citizens and candidates about the state's core problems and the improvements needed to tackle them.
