Naw man. $300 million ain't that much when the objective is to build an educated, trained workforce. To lift people to a higher station. it's not that much at all.

The people in this state can't even agree on whether this is a good investment or not. We are doomed.

They've beaten that dead horse of an idea for over 50 years now. Thrown tax money after "building an educated workforce" for decade after decade. Zero return on the investment. Insanity is repeating the same actions and expecting a different result.

If we as a state want things to change then we have to change things and not keep doing the same thing over and over.

P.S.
You can't lift people to a higher station that don't want to be lifted. They are too content to float along soaking up the freebies and staying stuck in the mud.

Mississippi has never had a TOPS program and look where our state is today.

The graduates aren't staying in La. That's a huge problem. La. doesn't have enough jobs to keep them here.

Plus the standards are too low.

And we don't have the money.

How many take the out tax dollars and move to a better state directly out of college? This doesn't help Louisiana at all.
