Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry is pushing big plans to overhaul state's tax code to deliver income and corporate tax cuts.

But a Senate committee introduced significant changes to the reform package Tuesday .

Landry and his allies in the GOP -dominated legislature frame the package as a way to streamline the tax code.

Local governments, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, and special interests have pushed back on the proposed legislation.
