NOLA.com: The number of state boards and commissions in Louisiana is the highest it has been since 2014, according a report released by the Louisiana Legislative Auditor Monday (Oct. 15).
In 2018, Louisiana has 477 board, commissions and similar entities -- 13 more than it did in 2017. From 2014 to 2017, the state had between 458 and 471 boards and commissions, the auditor said.
The number of boards and commissions in Louisiana has been a talking point for fiscal conservatives, who believe the Louisiana Legislature creates too many. The entities sometimes cost the state money, either through salaries or compensation for members who travel to the meetings.
