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 $940 and let that sink in for a moment.
This won’t be a small, unnoticeable tax hike. It’ll be the kind of tax hike that casts a very large shadow over the finances of everybody who voted Edwards into office and those who didn’t.
How is he going to get something like this passed in a GOP-controlled state legislature, you might be wondering. Well, for starters, he issued a warning that should his tax package be rejected, “you can say goodbye” to the LSU Tigers, which is Louisiana’s biggest college football team.
He followed that “threat” by saying that campuses could run out of money and be forced to shut down. Not that that would actually happen, but is closing down a college a bigger deal than closing down the state economy?
Read what GOP treasurer, John Kennedy had to say on the next page.
Isn’t LSU the only thing making money in Louisiana?
Probably the same fucker that cheated with delegates
Just keep electing these poor excuses for people.
Goodbye!
How about throwing you dumb$#%&!@*out
The guy is a flake
Recall this idiot
I don’t know how much money the LSU Tigers football team rakes in but I’d bet they bring in alot more than total tuitions combined. Lefty is at it again, brokering away possibly the biggest money maker in the state to get his way…Deplorable!!!
shut the tigers down and see how long before that lousy Gov finds a way to cut SPENDING
IS this guy looking to get shot? Well thats what you get when you vote Democrat
