Louisiana Energy Industry is Fighting Back Against New Taxes Proposed by Obama. By Jen DeGregorio, Times-Picayune, March 8, 2009. "Louisiana's oil and gas industry has launched a crusade against President Barack Obama's proposed 2010 budget, which critics say will increase the tax burden on fossil-fuel producers to the tune of $30 billion. The Louisiana Oil and Gas Association is urging members to 'take action' against the budget by signing a petition on its Web site. By Friday afternoon, the solicitation had drawn more than 18,000 signatures from states as far away as North Dakota."
