re: JBE, TOPS, and the 2016 LSU Baseball Class

The politicians on both sides of the isle in the Legislature are who is to blame for the fiscal mess Louisiana now finds itself in. IT was not just Jindal who created the budget mess all the politicians who go to Baton Rouge as members of the legislature had the opportunity to vote against Boggy Jindals proposals but decided against it.

The truth be told is they continued to spend and spend and spend some more even though the state was in a budget crisis.
John Kennedy is right you can raise taxes as much as you want they will just spend it on their pork barrel projects and we will be in the same mess for
years to come.
Louisiana problem is the budget is designed around oil trading at 80.00 a barrel for states budget to break even. Oil has traded in the 80.00 a barrel range in well over a year yet the state signs 14 million dollars worth consulting contracts in for 2016.
