A third party made a Public Records Request to the Louisiana Department of Revenue concerning the payment of state income taxes by Caddo Commissioner Roy Burrell.

The request indicated that the Department could only confirm whether a return had been filed for a specific year.

The letter dated December 23, 2023,  indicated that as of that date Burrell had NOT filed Louisiana state income taxes for 2022, 2021, and 2020.

Burrell was sent a copy of the letter by text. The text also asked if a state tax return had been filed for the years 2020-2022, and if not, why not.

Burrell sent a text to this author in response to a Settle Talk column. In response, Burrell was again asked about the status of these taxes.

No response to either of these two texts was received. One can only assume that Burrell had not as of July 16 filed his state tax returns for 2020, 2021, and 2022.
