well he figured out a way to keep tops instead of cut funding to higher education so he's not dumb.

OH BS. TOPS is a big ole welfare program we should not be taxed to support.

Those higher education facilities are bloated and spend too much. JBE lead the charge to keep SUNO open.

Anyone that would raise taxes on the population and keep a disaster like SUNO open and continue to pay out hundreds of millions to film makers is no friend of the citizens.

You will not find me defending Jindal. His only virtue in my book--and it looks more important every day--was his commitment not to raise taxes. He should have while he had the political capital cut the hell out of the state government.

It is an absolute myth that total spending--capital spending and operating spending--in higher ed went down under Jindal. It should have but it did not.
