Louisiana's cellphone tax for deaf services will increase

The Louisiana Legislature has voted to raise taxes on cellphone users by a half-cent per month to provide more money for deaf services. The Senate approved the legislation unanimously Monday (March 5) after the House advanced it last Friday.

Gov. John Bel Edwards has said he will sign the tax hike into law. The bill was the only tax hike to get out of the House during a special session that was supposed to be about raising money to help solve Louisiana's budget crisis, but this tax increase does nothing to help with Louisiana's fiscal problems.
