The impacts of Louisiana's budget crisis is being felt throughout the Bayou Region and the state.  Is there a way out of this hole that can also preserve our critical education and health care institutions and promote economic growth? 

BIG is pleased to welcome Robert T. Scott, President of the Public Affairs Research Council (PAR) as our September 10 luncheon speaker discussing "Trouble in Paradise:  Louisiana's Fiscal Challenges."
