It's not scare tactics of reality is this freaking scary. We had eight years of a Governor who didn't raise taxes, and also didn't cut spending. Liberal or Conservative, that's bad politics. Meanwhile oil and gas, which we are completely dependent on, have been plummeting. Are JBE and the leg going to make the best plan to fix it? Probably not, but will they fix it enough so I can keep going to school and my families and your families can go to a freaking hospital? Hopefully.
This is what the cost of filling our cars up for $20 and eight years of the worst politician I've ever seen not accounting for it in any way.
And while LSU football is self sustaining, we have to be a university still to keep playing. The academics still have to function for the boosters to pay for football.
Eta They won't actually shut LSU down. But this was a warning. He told us this was happening, and then let us know that for three weeks people need to write their legislature and and make sure this gets fixed. It's not scare tactics to make sure people understand the consequences of their political decisions.

that is simply not true. Louisiana has a state income tax and rather high business taxes. and, we can't forget the sales taxes.
I lived in Tennessee and florida, neither had an income tax or oil and gas revenues. go figure.
SPENDING is the problem. the restriction in the constitution is the problem.
I know nothing about this governor except that he INHERITED this mess. that, and many voters HATE HIM because he's a democrat.

What???
The la budget is 24.5 billion and was 27 billion when Jindal took office in 2008.
In DC that would be called an 800+% budget cut.

This is an outright lie.
And it is pretty typical to hear these types of lies as they are the narratives being driven by democrats, media and unions.
The fact is, of the governors that have run for president in this cycle, only Jindal cut spending.
