Looks like JBE is going to veto the budget

In that case, he should not veto the budget since there are no cuts to hospitals and nursing homes in it.
Or is there some subtle sarcasm I am missing?

Shut the whole thing down. That way they can't steal any more.

I received 11 identical emails from LSU this morning within a span of 45 minutes asking me to contact my legislators and ask them to support keeping a half-cent sales tax increase of the expiring one cent "temporary" sales tax in the special session next week in order to fully fund TOPS and not cut LSU's budget.
Let me repeat that: ELEVEN identical emails from the LSU Alumni Association!

I’ve gotten tired of the Chicken Little bullshite out of LSU.
They want their funding? Put their legislative power to work to kill lesser colleges in the state and absorb their funding. Failing that they can frick off.

seems like he should sit on it for the first week or so of special session

That's what I thought. I read they were cutting TOPS down to only cover 70% tuition so that they could keep some funding for Medicaid

Doesn't impact the DOTD so don't care.

That would be the WORST think he can do. If he is going to veto it, do it asap and remove doubt.
The problem is that the special session is only about 14 days long. And it takes a minimum of 6 days to pass a bill (3 readings in both chambers). So if they are advancing a supplemental bill and he vetoes the original bill it could screw things up.
Though I guess they could amend the supplemental bill to deal with all of it.

AMEN. The only thing that has grown at LSU is the administration. It's time to cut worthless degree paths, and the degree paths that lead to employments need to be audited. There is no reason someone who is going for English Education needs to take 5 foreign languages other than to prop up the foreign language enrollment numbers. Its a scam.Its taking students longer and longer to graduate due to BS classes in their schedule and some professors only teaching 1 or 2 classes. Posted on 5/18/18 at 2:19 pm to teke184

Dude, that's not the problem.
The problem is that their academic endowment is embarrassingly small - the smallest in the SEC by far. If people don't want to give the university willingly, as happens in ALL other conference schools, they've got to get it from somewhere.
People in this state are so fricking stupid. They give all their spare money to the athletic department, and none to the academic side. Then they bitch and moan when the university is at risk of closing due to lack of funds that their precious football season may get cancelled.
The academic side of the university matters.

Legalize pot and sports betting and all of this shite would be solved.

What happens if he vetoes the budget and the legislature does not pass a new one in the special session? Does that mean all funding is shut down or are there certain departments that will keep operating? Is no budget as dire as it sounds or is the shutdown limited?
I for one would like to see a lot of state employees out of a job, but there are some that are necessary.

State employees won’t get fired if this happens.
At worst they do mandatory furloughs of one day a week until money is freed up, under the general idea of “make it so inconvenient to use government services that people pressure their reps to pass a new budget.”

Strongly disagree. He can leave it hanging over Ways & Means and the House Chamber as a threat to get shite moving, and if they don't, then veto.

Being an outsider I agree.
I have yet to see why there needs to be three full public universities (Grambling, La Tech, and ULM) in the same geographical space as DFW has, with a total population maybe 2/3 that of Arlington. While we have only four full public universities in all of DFW (North Texas, Texas Woman's, UT Dallas, and UT Arlington).

Honestly no one is certain. Best guess is that federally funded programs would keep running, and for a short period other items would still continue to function.
There would probably be another special session.
