That's estimated initial merger costs.
Ans: Have to spend money to save money in the future. Look at big picture. Citizens of Shreveport to help fund initial costs of merger.

No need. He explained it in post #148. I think he and I were typing at the same time.

Re: The (LA Tech/LSUS) Merger Thread II
Fiscal notes are calculated by the Legislative Auditors to show the $$$ impact of proposed bills.
Re: The (LA Tech/LSUS) Merger Thread II
Who's the guy speaking now? He said he's "only been here a year." That's shocking. Must be Jenkins.
Re: The (LA Tech/LSUS) Merger Thread II
Somebody is disputing Marsala's testimony of the BoR blocking new LSUS programs. He said the BoR gave them initial approval, but LSUS never followed through with bringing them back for final approval. Shame on them. He said LSUS can't just apply to be a doctoral university. They have to earn it.

That's just more evidence that LSUS doesn't know what they are doing.
Re: The (LA Tech/LSUS) Merger Thread II
Rep. Edwards says that it's troublesome that Marsala and that guy have irreconcilable contradicting testimonies. He doesn't know what to do.
The guy says that Marsala initially supported the merger, and then 2 weeks later he was vehemently against it.

Re: The (LA Tech/LSUS) Merger Thread II
That was the BoR head I think, basically called out Marsala for supporting this initially and now flipping....
Also, calling out that BoR did not block LSUS but that LSUS hasn't followed through...
Re: The (LA Tech/LSUS) Merger Thread II
Rep. Patricia Smith appears to be really concerned about the costs. She said that the Southern U System didn't know about the amendments.

She's actually asking some very good questions about "legacy costs", etc.... She wants to confirm that there won't be any surprise costs over the 3-5 year merger period.
