    Yep, the way our state administration is treating public education teachers in this state, I can't imagine why any informed college student would want to go that route.

    That's some low-hanging fruit.

    Yep, at some point in the near future the narrative has to move away from "he's better than Obama" (by law Obama can't run for president again) and toward "Jindal is better than Cruz, Paul, Santorum, Palin, Ryan, or whoever". That's when things will start to get interesting.

    LOL, that doesn't take much. Putin is showing the world that Obama is nothing but an empty suit.

    Wonder if Tech has received its $10 million from Bobby like other state universities.
    And, if we have, how's it been spent?

    The legislature is full of sheeple. They just keep doing the same things over and over.

    Aside from the $10 million the state’s other three systems received, lawmakers threw in an extra $6.5 million for Southern to get its finances in order.

    Southern still hasn't spent the money. Any chance they try to take money back from this bunch of over achievers?

    Re: Bobby!

    In response to some comments from above....

    Both Southern and Grambling need to be shut down. Period. Any current students should be allowed admission into any other state university of their choice and they can bring all their credit hours with them.

    The legislature controls the purse strings. So, if you have any issue with the budget, take it up with them. But, for argument sake.....

    State employees getting a 5% increase in health insurance....well, it was slated to be 7.5% so kudos to Bobby for that. And, the increase is a DIRECT result of obummercare. When that goes away, so too should higher premiums.

    State income taxes are the same as they were when Bobby first took office. The budget has been balanced every year. Now....given those two facts, you had(have) to know something else has to give somewhere. The article mentions "smoke and mirrors." Yep, and it's the moochers who are screaming for that. Sorry. In the land of reality you have to break eggs to make an omlette. (sp?)

    I was in a meeting Thursday with a bunch of movers & shakers, business people. The kind of folks who make real investments and create real jobs and opportunities. One fellow from Texas commented (paraphrasing a little): never thought I'd be spending real money expanding into Louisiana. Y'all have Guvner Jindal to thank for that.

    So....with whatever other faults he may (or may not) have, this is what I'm talking about!

    Normally I don't care what the Lafayette paper has to say. This editorial, however, was thought-provoking.

    I like Kennedy. And, yeah, MOST of the consultant contracts the state issues are bogus. But, it's part of that "pork barrel" let-me-help-a-political-supporter policy that legislators don't want to lose.
