Louisiana is now first in the nation in per capita COVID-19 cases. Just one person’s actions can stop the spread. If everybody would reduce the number of times they leave home, it would significantly diminish the impact of COVID-19 on our state and health care system. #lagov https://t.co/sEPnXvnqGo — PolitiTweet.org

This assistance will give our workers the bridge they need to return to work, while ensuring that Louisiana businesses are able to focus their efforts on recovering safely from the COVID-19 pandemic. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

If the trust fund falls below a balance of $100 million, Louisiana law mandates @LouisianaWorks to impose a surtax on businesses of up to 30% on taxable payroll. This would be a last resort but without intervention, it will almost certainly be necessary. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

At our current trajectory, we will have to borrow from the federal government as early as September to replenish the fund to continue paying state unemployment benefits to Louisiana workers. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

I have serious concerns about the solvency of the Trust Fund and the need for federal assistance to make sure Louisiana can continue to pay out unemployment benefits. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, our Unemployment Trust Fund was the 17th strongest in the nation. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

Today, I sent a letter to Louisiana’s congressional delegation asking them to consider funding the Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund in the current proposal for COVID-19 relief legislation as unemployment payments expire. #lagov #lalege https://t.co/RY6htuBXj1 — PolitiTweet.org
