“It is wonderful to see the Louisiana Legislative Auditor stepping up to aid in the Governor’s fiscal responsibility mission. I am eager for our teams to get together and begin finding ways to improve efficiency and effectiveness in all areas of Louisiana’s government, said Fiscal Responsibility Czar Steve Orlando. “Working together, I am confident we will deliver on Governor Landry’s promise of a more productive and responsible state government.”
