We are confidant that we have built a group of Senators and Representatives from all regions of the state. We also anticipate adding additional co-authors at the time the bill comes before a legislative committee for hearing.
Futher still, Greater New Orleans, Inc. ("GNO, Inc.") has also endorsed Senate Bill 277.
The passage of this bill in its current form would be a giant step forward for the Louisiana economy. The future of the United States economy is information and media driven. The jobs that would be brought to Louisiana after the passage of this bill would be almost uniformly high paying and bring new outside money into our economy. We urge everyone to contact their Representatives and Senators and ask them to support Senate Bill 277 in its current form.
