Sen. Doug Berger
Youngsville Democrat
Third Term
What two things would you cut in the state budget? He said there could be savings in merging worker safety programs in the Industrial Commission and the state Department of Labor.
He also said there was a lot of duplication in education programs, such as anti-smoking efforts, in the Department of Health and Human Services.
Are there any taxes you would be in favor of increasing? He said additional revenue could be found in removing the sales tax cap on the purchase of automobiles.
