Landry signs executive order for taxpayer spending transparencyBATON ROUGE — Gov. Jeff Landry signed an executive order aimed at giving taxpayers better insight into how their money is being spent. The order is called the Louisiana Taxpayer Protection Initiative and is part of the state's Department of Government Efficiency, which was established in 2025. The new executive order looks to build on that work, making it easier to detect and eliminate losses caused by fraud, waste and abuse, Landry said. Landry says since the Department of Government Efficiency was established, Louisiana DOGE has uncovered nearly $1 billion in savings for the state.
