Jindal’s Budget Leaves a Mess Behind

“As they unravel Gov. Bobby Jindal’s budget proposal for next year, lawmakers are finding cuts disguised as ‘efficiencies,’ gaps not disclosed by the administration and critical services reliant on shaky financing,” the Baton Rouge Advocate reports.

“Members of the House Appropriations Committee are questioning whether the Republican governor has provided spending plans that might work through the final six months of Jindal’s term but that could leave them with a financial mess in the second half of the fiscal year after Jindal is term-limited and gone from office.”
