I'm sure JBE will use all 300 mil to campaign to raise our taxes, until the state popo overtime bill comes in...

Oh, he will give it back just not to the people that paid it in the first place.

Is this when the people of Louisiana realize they made a mistake?

He will piss it away no doubt. Liberal or conservative it will all be spent for the advancement of his political career.

Look for some kind of anti abortion funding or some kind of wildlife expenditure or something for the Saints or something like that he thinks will garner him favor with the voters.

Sheriffs as another poster mentioned will get something.

Needs to invest it in North Louisiana! We our lakes and highways could use some repair.

It can only be used on certain one-time expenditures, like paying down debt or infrastructure projects.

Expect a lot of pork to be doled out especially because it will be an election year.

That said, I would rather a surplus than a shortfall. An occasional surplus is a good thing. The issue comes if they are persistent (especially if they are large). It shows that taxes are too high.

The leftist philosophy is that isn’t your money, so you don’t have any claim to it.

I’m not saying there are no Republicans that would keep it. There are. But who has given the last tax cuts in anybody’s memory?

Democrat creates a surplus out of a Republican governor's disasterous shortfalls...OP makes thread complaining about liberals. Checks out.

Tax receipts are up across the entire nation because of the economy and you think it's because of JBE?

Give it to the fricking Louisiana Department of Education. You people have to be tired of these idiot children. Oh, wait. You WANT people to stay uneducated so they continue to not think about why they're voting against their best interests, year after year.
