Unlike the Jindal administration, we don’t claim to have a mysteriously appearing surplus in our budget here at LouisianaVoice.
In fact, our financial resources are stretched quite thin in our efforts to keep our readers current on events in Baton Rouge that affect their lives every day.
Like many of our readers, I am a retired state employee who is on a fixed income. I established LouisianaVoice as a means of keeping the citizens informed of what really goes on with your state government and the ones you elect to represent you.
Our fund raiser continues and we still need the assistance of our regular readers to help us offset the cost of pursuing stories the other media continue to ignore.
Many of you have responded but we still have a considerable ways to go in order to keep up with our mounting expenses that include gasoline burned traveling this state to meet with confidential sources, to pay for copies of records and for legal costs when they are incurred as we are sometimes forced to call on the courts to help us enforce compliance with the state’s public records laws.
We have had one contribution made in the memory of the late John Hays of Ruston, one of the premier investigative reporters in the history of Louisiana journalism. Another was made in honor of my late journalism professor at Louisiana Tech, Wiley Hilburn. To say I was moved by those gestures would be an understatement.

In addition to donations, is there any volunteer work that is needed?
Just contributed. Although I don’t always agree with you, I find myself agreeing more and more. Regardless, thank you for doing what you do as it benefits all of us.
If I can ever be of assistance, please just let me know.
Please set a fee, it will make us feel that we are all paying our share. Phyllis

If every subscriber gave $5, that would be wonderful. the reality is, however, that fewer than 7% of my subscribers send anything at all. If even 10% gave $5 each, that would come to only about $1300, which realistically doesn’t carry us very far.
I know it’s unfair to ask just a few to carry the water for everyone, but the truth is many of my readers are retirees and just cannot afford $25 or even $10 but the last thing I want is to make my blog unavailable to those who cannot afford to contribute. This blog has been championing the interests of the low-income citizens since its inception and to force those who cannot afford it to pay a subscription flies against everything we stand for.
Done! Thanks for all the great information you share!
