Jindal: Tax amnesty program raises $303M, exceeds expectations

(AP) — Louisiana has raised over $300 million with a tax amnesty program aimed at lessening the effects of budget cuts.

Gov. Bobby Jindal on Wednesday called the program a success, noting that it brought in more than twice as much money as expected.

Jindal said much of the money raised would replenish the state's "rainy day" fund.
