Hate to say it but much of Louisiana woes came from Bobby Jindal. Facing the same thing in Mississippi from Tate Reeves.

No Jindal is not to blame. Edwards is the governor and must take responsibly for the economic conditions. His first action as governor was to expand Medicaid costing the state millions then he proceeded to raise an already high state sales tax to 6 percent statewide. I take Jindal and lower taxes anyday. JBE is a terrible leader for the state of Louisiana, he is running political ads bosting about a 1000 per year teacher raise. That's about 15 per week after tax, what a joke.

Bull shite. Jindal was not good for LA, especially his second term, but the problem comes directly from our state constitution that only allows funding cuts to higher education and hospitals.
The crooked arse politicians figures they’d never have a budget cut if everything else was protected so they wrote it into law.

Bobby isn't to blame for this. This all boils down to Louisiana needing government reform in the worst way. If i remember correctly the only budgets that are NOT protected from budget cuts are Higher education, health care, and maybe one other that escapes me at the moment. There is way too much fluff being spent in the protected budgets. When cuts are needed the first thing they wack is higher education.
