State Treasurer Dr. John Fleming will be speaking to the Kiwanis Club of Denham Springs on Thursday, March 19, at Big Mikes Sports Bar and Grill, at noon. Join us as we discuss the amazing strides the Department of Treasury has taken during Treasurer Fleming's time in office.

In an interview with KTVE-TV, Channel 10, in Monroe, Louisiana State Treasurer John Fleming, M.D., reiterated his belief that the state’s personal income tax needs to be eliminated. According to Dr. Fleming, businesses are leaving high-tax states such as California, Illinois, and New York and moving to Southern states that have no personal income tax. Unfortunately, Louisiana is losing tremendous business opportunities because we still have personal income taxes. Treasurer Fleming believes we can eliminate the state income tax with efficient government, transparency, accountability, and control over our budget.

Treasurer Fleming also enjoyed visiting with Chamber of Commerce members in Monroe/Sterlington, West Monroe/West Ouachita, and Natchitoches, and with Rotary Club members in Westwego and Plaquemine. In these meetings, Dr. Fleming discussed the many functions of the Louisiana Department of Treasury office and reviewed his office’s notable accomplishments, including establishing the Louisiana K-12 School Transparency Project and returning unclaimed property to Louisiana residents. Treasurer Fleming recommends that all Louisiana residents visit LaCashClaim.org to search for unclaimed property. One in six individuals in Louisiana has unclaimed property, with claims averaging $900.

In this episode, Louisiana State Treasurer John Fleming, M.D., discussed the highly controversial carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) process, which involves removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial facilities and power plants and injecting it underground for long-term storage.

Louisiana State Treasurer John Fleming, M.D., met with WGNO-TV in New Orleans to tout the success of the Unclaimed Property program. He noted that it is the state’s most popular program, and neither the legislators nor the Governor can spend the $1.2 billion in it. Dr. Fleming stressed that the funds are protected for the rightful recipients of unclaimed property. In Louisiana, one in six residents has unclaimed property, with the average claim totaling $900. To check for unclaimed property, visit LaCashClaim.org

BATON ROUGE, LA — Louisiana State Treasurer John Fleming, M.D., today issued the following statement in response to the release of a new oversight report by the State Financial Officers Foundation (SFOF), which highlights billions of dollars in taxpayer dollars safeguarded from waste, fraud, and abuse across the country in 2025. “The foundational work undertaken by SFOF is an outstanding example of effective, accountable government,” Treasurer Fleming said.

Louisiana State Treasurer John Fleming, M.D., visited with WDSU-TV to discuss the fiscal situation in New Orleans. He emphasized that the initial $125 million bailout was dedicated to covering the city’s payroll and was authorized by a bank, not by state taxpayers. However, if fiscal problems persist and the city becomes insolvent and requires another bailout, an appointed Fiscal Administrator may be required to oversee how the city spends funds. Dr. Fleming noted that he is working with the Louisiana Legislative Auditor and others to prevent such a scenario from happening.
