The budget quandary
The legislature has sat back on its collective heels for the last seven years and allowed Gov. Bobby Jindal to squander a $1 billion surplus without any opposition (“Will Louisiana’s lawmakers make the tough choices necessary to deal with a $1.6 billion deficit?” March 31). Now the legislators are all in a dither trying to outdo each other with silly plans to shift dollars from one pocket to another in an effort to look like they are being responsible. Where were they for the last seven years? The legislature is as much to blame for this mess as Gov. Jindal and they should be voted out.
