Louisiana Budget #2

As I stated one entry below, their likely cuts in the budget are always healthcare and education as this article proves. LSU System Vice President Fred Cerise warned the law makers of Louisiana (Democrat and Republican) the cut of 67.8 million would make it very difficult for public hospitals to operate. Think we could use some of the Governor's office budget to make up the difference. Hey what is a Governor for really?

You know what the Jindal administration said? And I quote.

"The House panel goofed when making proposed changes to the state operating budget".- Really Jindal? Really?

Is that all you have to say about 4 hospitals likely to close. What about all the jobs lost and each hospitals contribution to the economy? Didn't Jindal push the state to purchase a chicken factory in order to save the economy in north Louisiana?

I am not surprised though because when Jindal was the secretary of Louisiana's DHH that same spirit was displayed.
