Formed in 1975, the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry (LABI) represents the business community with 75% of its members in small business. LABI has given the business community a voice and has made legislators more sensitive to the needs of Louisiana businesses. To find out how your Legislators scored on certain issues, scorecards can be viewed at LABI.org. With a focus on workforce, taxes and crime, Patterson referenced LA23, “A road map to Louisiana’s Future”. To learn more go to LA23.org.
