BATON ROUGE, La. -- Millions of dollars in education and health care spending stripped from next year's budget by the House were restored Tuesday by a Senate panel, which also added hundreds of legislators' pet projects to the $30 billion spending plan.
The Senate Finance Committee also reversed cuts to proposed salaries for Gov. Bobby Jindal's top economic development officials and agreed to further pay increases for other Jindal appointees in the new fiscal year that begins July 1.

Update: Ryan comments:
DAY-um. Jindal is no conservative, and the true conservatives of Louisiana are going to go apes*&t when they hear about this.
They aren't hearing about it, though. Not this morning. Not on WWL despite the fact that the current formate there is wall-to-wall pay raise talk.
