State Budget

Louisiana appears to be in dire straits related to the upcoming state budget. Over a 600 million dollar shortfall can do that.

To me, though, the puzzling part is that the only two areas that can be cut are health care, and I believe, higher education. Why so?

There may be good reasons for that edict. But in Louisiana, "good reasons" are rarely the answer.

I guess I've found an interesting project to delve into.
