Hundreds of state boards are on the books in Louisiana, but an eye-opening new audit reveals dozens are ghosting the public altogether
About this episode
Louisiana has nearly 500 active boards and commissions on the books, but are some of them active in name only? A new audit finds dozens haven’t met in years, have no appointed members, or aren’t providing required financial information. Louisiana Legislative Auditor Mike Waguespack joins Newell to discuss which boards are actually serving taxpayers and whether it’s time for lawmakers to shut down the ones that aren’t.
