    ULM getting $200K from State for stadium repairs

    How is it that UL-M is getting $200K beyond the general fund transfer maximum for repairs to their stadium? I assume Tech will have a similar amendment for Joe Aillet Stadium repairs.

    Good ole Louisiana politics.

    On the other hand, $200K won't make much of a dent a Malone Stadium. Do they still have those double wide trailers on the top of their stadium that they call luxury boxes?

    Our legislature is pathetic.

    I agree that $200K won't make much of a dent on improving UL-M's nasty stadium. However, $200K is $200K and I'd love to see a similar state funded amount spent on repairs to Joe Aillet or the Thomas Assembly Center.

    Where would ULM athletics be without state subsidies?

    Yet, the state only gave us half the money we needed for Research Park.

    Half of the Research Park funds are coming from the state budget....the other half is capital outlay. the first has been passed ....i think the capital outlay is still being debated. I haven't seen anything in the news about it, but Friday i think that said the debate would start saturday on all capital outlay.

    I hope the legislature doesn't screw this up.

    A McNeese fan told me that the 200K was a form of bonded debt that would be paid back by individuals. Didn't Dwayne propose getting bonded debt issued on the student fees?

    Left pocket/right pocket -

    Both are coming from the same treasury....

    Not much difference -

    HB2 is the capital outlay portion and HB3 is the funding mechanism for HB2....

    Hollis Downs and our other local legislatures are just as much at fault as this as is everyone else -

    Frankly, they can have their $200,000 as long as Claiborne Parish gets it's 5 million for the by-pass.....

    That ain't all NLULM's getting. The Senate president found extra $4.5 mil for their pharmacy school.
