I was about to ask If anyone has discussed how this may cripple LSU's baseball program but they're now talking about it on the radio.
I said Blanco got the ball rolling. In the last budget of her term is when she approved the income tax cut. That constituted a partial repeal of Stelly. Couple that with the employee and teacher pay raises and infrastructure spending, and Jindal continued the momentum for a perfect storm.
There was a 1.2 billion dollar surplus that year. Hardly a mistake. Unfortunately, it preceded the great recession.
Now they are about to talk about it on Rusillo and Cannell's show. Now, where are the board posters who think that comments on here hurt recruiting. What about the governor saying there might not be football? Now ESPN is talking about it.
Sorry, no. She had a huge surplus so the scheduled pay raises were entirely justified, that is NOT what sunk the economy. And her tax restructuring had nothing to do with the the Jindal legislature later gutting the voter-approved Stelly plan. Blanco had her own failures during Katrina but the Republicans OWN this economic collapse.
As I've said before, come up with a plan, any plan, to deal with this. You won't. We're really jammed up here and he's finally going to do something after jindal kicked the can for 5 years. Everyone likes to beat up on him but we have to cut a billion dollars in 4 months. Give me your list.
