Comments for BRBR: More state cuts possible at http://www.theind.com , comment 1 to 1 out of 1 comments http://www.theind.com Tue, 21 May 2013 20:46:09 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/12410-brbr-more-state-cuts-possible#comment-27557 There is absolutely no excuse for any/all of the cuts under the Jindal administration. From 2008-11, total revenue for Louisiana has dropped/decreased in excess of 2 billion dollars. Had Jindal spent as much time recouping even just half of this "lost" revenue, the state could/would have foregone any of the cuts to state services, any of the tuition increases at our universities, any of the layoffs of state employees. Jindal has not seen fit to look at the revenue side of the coin in even a vale attempt at maintaining 2008/09 revenue levels. Jindal has been "to busy" handing out tax exemptions(which he calls incentives)to his corporate friends in an attempt on his part to solidify his political future. Yearly corporate income tax collections from 2008/11 dropped in excess of $600 million dollars. There is not doubt in my mind, Jindal will go down as the absolute worse governor in Louisiana history. The health, welfare and development of Louisiana's citizens has taken a back seat to Jindals' political aspirations and goals and the state is suffering. - Greg Foreman Wed, 02 Jan 2013 03:05:37 +0100
