BATON ROUGE — On Thursday, Gov. Jeff Landry and his Fiscal Responsibility Czar, Steve Orlando, presented findings on the Fiscal Responsibility Program designed to "eliminate wasteful spending and to identify areas to improve government efficiency."

Landry and Orlando were joined by members of his cabinet and other officials to discuss the progress of the fiscal responsibility program, which Landry asked to be created in 2024.

According to Landry in 2024, their first budget called for a $3.3 billion reduction in spending from the previous budget, and the state realized a final reduction of around $2 billion.
