well, considering he's been on office about 6 months and Jindal was there 8 years go figure.
the PROBLEM is simple; Louisiana has an above avg tax revenue stream. so where's the damn money going. the constitution protects just about every program; they are "sacred cows".
what is NOT protected is health care and education.
therefore, when the damn politicians overspend and revenues trend downward (like in oil crunches and recessions) the ONLY place they can cut is health care and education.
the solution is also simple; change the constitution and have some REAL budget evaluations. there are too many state employees and some programs are unnecessary. CUT THEM, or seriously reduce them.
legislators have no balls. THE VOTERS are ultimately to blame. I love Louisiana but hate the cowardly legislature.
