That Bobby Jindal legacy

Just a note to tuck away for when Fiscal Cliff Season gets into full swing.

Louisiana colleges were hammered by cuts over the last decade. The state spends $700 million less annually on its public colleges than it did in 2008.

The Governor's budget proposal comes out tomorrow.  The Legislature may or may not be going into special session soon. You're going to hear a lot from Republicans about how the problem is "too much spending." What they will mean by that is $700 million out of higher ed wasn't enough for their liking.
