re: Louisiana budget shortfall: should we repeal State Trooper raises?

They should receive a cut. higher education is much more important than state trooper pay raises.

It is too bad we don't have a governor that has a back bone. Areas that are untouchable should be cut. Also education should take a hard look at cutting some schools that don't pull weight vs taking from everyone. The short term pain of some bitching would be much better than harming the state long term.
