re: Here is an easy $62.5 million to address the states shortfall.

Not crazy, because I know the State of Louisiana is the epitome of inefficiency. All governments are. But to generalize that all state workers do nothing is utter bullshite.

The inefficiency is borne from politicians trying to make their cronies happy, not from employees choosing to be lazy. Don't get me wrong, there are several thousand state employees that need to be let go, because they "work" their 8 hours, and go home. But there are just as many state workers that bust their balls, try to be innovative, ambitious, and efficient.

These are the employees that end up either leaving state employment altogether, or turn into the former "workers" because they get work piled on and piled on, until they are in over their heads.
