Texas, Mississippi, Florida and New Mexico get royalties from any oil related activity from the oil companies.
Guess who doesn't.
The provider of 25% of the oil/gas used domestically.
Louisiana.
Every single penny goes straight to the federal government or into the pockets of the big oil companies.
The state will not see a dime from what is now being called one of the biggest oil reserve finds in recent history.
And there are those that criticize the reliance LA had on the response of the federal government post-Katrina.
Considering how much they pay in, I would say they had every right.
