I believe the 12.6 was from the BR campus, bringing its total for the 3 runds of cuts to 42 mil

_ The one thing that I do not understand from this terrific state is why cut the 2nd most populated university 4.6 million dollars but only cut LaTech to the sum of 2.5 million dollars. I understand that LaTech is smaller but I be willing to bet that La Tech almost gets as much as UL from the state. _

I often wonder how much money this state could save if they combined regional campuses

UL and mcNeese
La Tech, Northwestern and Monroe
UNO and Southeastern
a&m @br and Southern

Every man a king and a chicken in every pot... but maybe its time to change?

Is Jindal going to cut his transportation budget or will he continue flying to other states to make money to get re-elected to this state? What about his helicopter trips to the Northern part of this State to get money from Churches? Will that be cut?
