Legislative session opens today. It will be a disaster.

A disaster for TOPS, a disaster for roads and infrastructure, a disaster for tax reform (i.e., there will be none).
The Gang of No will vote no to any taxes but fail to offer any proposals for spending cuts. They will sabotage the Democrat governor at every turn and then blame him for the failed session.
Edwards will whine to the media about doomsday scenarios before abandoning his goofy tax reform plan, and then blame the R's for the failed session.

Good.
JBE has been nothing but a job/economy killer, that wants to kick the engine of our state economy in oil and gas when its down while taxing the ever loving shite out of our wallets and fricking up the flood recovery contracts as a nice bonus.
I'm not intersted in working with someone like that.

After reading the Advocate yesterday and the story about how weak the Speaker is I wonder if anything will get done. Thats perfectly fine when it comes to the tax "reform" that is really a massive tax INCREASE

Yeah right. They will b$&@h and moan, but when the governor says "jump", they will ask "how high?" In the end we will see:
A. No real cuts except to TOPS
B. No additional infrastructure being built
C. Lots of new taxes
D. Pay raises for employees or COL increase for retirees of some type if government entity
E. The legislature refusing to go through with a line-item veto session despite having enough self-proclaimed "conservative" votes to defeat the governor.
F. Our budget deficit for next year will be just as large if not larger.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Jay Dardene was on KPEL this morning doing his damn well best to polish that turd of a tax proposal.
Moon Griffon and Co. have been saying that other states have been moving away from CAT tax, and yet our legislature is persuing it.
Yes, they do need to rewrite the constitution.
When asked about the gas taxes and why only 11 cents actually goes to roads, he seemed not even be familiar with that figure. --- a figure EVERYONE has been talking about for a long time. This is how I know JBE is trying to snow us.

What's the problem with cutting TOPS?

Why do they need to propose cuts? Let's just leave the budget at a standstill.

Who cares.
At least we won. Vitter and the rest of the Foster/Jindal establishment cronies will never set foot back in the Governor's Mansion!
I love it every time I hear JBE's name listed as Governor
And they thought we really cared about hookers

Govt was designed to not change much.

if one supports TOPS, then you are a socialists
Posted on 4/10/17 at 10:49 am to Slippy
Not to worry. The voters will elect Landry in four years and we'll be distracted from the budget by pointless battles over trannies and gays.

You like many have fallen right into the entitlement trap.
TOPS is not a necessity but you and others now see it as an entitlement. It started out with good intentions at a time when La. could afford it, but quickly became a huge albatross that the state can't afford.
The facts are La. can not afford TOPS, the Film giveaways, and the Medicare Expansion which are all relatively new entitlements.
Now we are trying to pay for all these extras at a time when our state has fought off floods and a world wide global collapse of oil. It's too big of a burden for folks to pay more taxes and whether it's a CAT, s sales tax, a gas tax of whatever; the people will pay it one way or another.

Louisiana is just now OPENING its session?
No wonder you're last in everything. While you were sleeping in, Texas and Florida have long been at work (and we in Texas only do this every other year).
