What you republicans are failing to mention is your GOP governor left the state in 500 million dollar debt this year.and its projected to be 1 billion dollars this upcoming fiscal year.

I think I saw on here when all of this first came up a while back that old man Edwards got legislation passed that protected all but a couple of agencies from budget cuts; education being one of them. When budget cuts are necessary, across the board cuts is the only way not to devastate a single agency. La governor must be way more powerful than ours because all of this would be on the legislature not the governor.
