It will be a few weeks before the size of Louisiana's budget surplus from the fiscal year that ended June 30 gets verified, but state leaders are already contemplating how the money might be used. "We are hopeful that the surplus will be around $300 million," said Commissioner of Administration Jay Dardenne

They raised the F out of taxes. Instead of putting the surplus in a rainy day fund for the next shortfall they are like dogs in heat trying to find a way to spend it.

Because JBE asked for too much to be made permanent of the “temporary” sales tax increase.

Now they’ll blow all that ad more then raise taxes again.

Not really. Jindal was a disappointment, but his budget was the same as he left office as when he assumed office, if not a bit smaller.

Explain how raising taxes on the people results in something "better than Jindal"?

I hate surpluses--that means we have all been screwed by tax collections.

Medicaid expansion bringing in millions of federal dollars to the state of louisiana. Louisiana missed out on millions of federal dollars because of Jindal.
