Louisiana’s newly elected Democratic Governor, John Bel Edwards, has proposed a package of tax increases to fix a $940 million budget deficit. Now, before you run off and grab a calculator to try and figure out what kind of numbers we’re talking about, consider the word “million” attached to the end of that $940 and let that sink in for a moment.
This won’t be a small, unnoticeable tax hike. It’ll be the kind of tax hike that casts a very large shadow over the finances of everybody who voted Edwards into office and those who didn’t.
How is he going to get something like this passed in a GOP-controlled state legislature, you might be wondering. Well, for starters, he issued a warning that should his tax package be rejected, “you can say goodbye” to the LSU Tigers, which is Louisiana’s biggest college football team.
He followed that “threat” by saying that campuses could run out of money and be forced to shut down. Not that that would actually happen, but is closing down a college a bigger deal than closing down the state economy?

You people elected a Democrat ?
Republican Governor of Michigan Rick Snyder – Poison Poison Poison.
Typical frigging democrat,,,
They voted him in and now they have to suffer the consequences of that stupidity.
If anyone in La thinks this is a good idea your as crazy as the Governor. In Upstate New York a good many of our counties have population growing in negative numbers. The higher the tax the more business’s pack up an leave.
What a jerk and an$#%&!@* He should be recalled.
