“Why Louisiana Stays Poor”
Today at noon, two groups have teamed up to provide a fifteen-minute video based on research to show the many challenges that Louisiana faces.
Together Louisiana and Together Baton Rouge have joined together to release the video via Facebook and YouTube.
Louisiana has so many things that are beneficial in helping the state to move forward including a bounty of natural resources. But some question why, given all of our advantages, can't the state get to the top of any "good" lists.
The state tends to find itself at the bottom of lists, and it doesn't go unnoticed by those we are trying to entice to come to the state.
The groups will release their video based on three years of research.
