The state is going broke or maybe we're already there...and this clown of a Governor wants to call another Special Session that will costs taxpayers $60,000 per day.
I wish someone would kick this S.O.B. off of that Fiscal Cliff and he lands on his dumb arse.
You wanna start cutting costs? How about stopping the choice of school vouchers and fix the broken public schools. If you cannot fix 'em scuttle them and use all the money to send everyone to private schools. Wait, isn't Dumb-Bell's wife a school teacher? Maybe she's part of the problem with public schools because that's the message he is sending out when he sends failing kids to private schools- that the teachers at public schools can't get it done. Of course, we all know better. Public school teachers are Great!

You can sink all you want into public school education ... you can get the best teachers ... it will not matter so long as the student body is what it is.


At this point ... I am not sure that it can be fixed.


A lot of people like it broken as frick just the way it is.

Voucher program is the worst state funded program. It needs to go away.

Choice of schools is terrible. The school closest to you should be where your child goes. A lot of people work hard to move to a good area so their child can get a good education. All that gets ruined when they have to be bused across town and then other children across town take your child’s spot in the good school to meet a diversity quota.

We are definitely sending our kids to Catholic school.

But Vitter bought some pussy, so the Evangelicals sentenced us to four years of progressive purgatory.

The Louisiana state government is beyond repair. You would have to blow up the state constitution and somehow remove all the entrenched families with generations worth of political corruption to get anywhere. Good luck.

Do what other smarter governors have done. Threaten to cut agencies and start laying people off and these agencies that have been HIDDING money will suddenly FIND extra funds that they originally claimed that they didn't know they had. It's happened quite a few times before.

If the idiot Republicans would pass a proper budget during the regular session this wouldn't be necessary. Direct your anger where it should be directed.

Those same idiots who didn't pass a budget also can't count. They know how much money is needed to operate the state, yet they refuse to make the budget balance. They want some kind of unicorn to arrive and do their jobs? Make the income side match the outflow side and go home.
