Meanwhile at ULM,

One would think the lawyers cut is taxed as income, but then deducted from donations to tsab nil

but not the client

Can we tax Lawsuit settlements to increase the State's Budget? From my understanding they are tax free, am I wrong?

Maybe higher ed can get some of the $745 Million Chevron just got hit with.

Dont know, good question.... but lawyers cut is usually bigger, ha. I wouldnt say tax the amount in and of itself, but tax the amount like any income that is above expenses.

If you think this is only going to happen at ULM you’ll be in for quite a shock.

Just remember, this is all happening because Jeff Landry and his party chose to cut income taxes for rich people (yes, ONLY rich people) and now there’s a huge budget shortfall.

Did you mean tax cuts for people that were paying income taxes? There… I fixed it for you.

This crock of ____ again?

Look, I think Huey P. Landry is mostly a fraud, but can we stop with this "we can't fund higher ed because 'tax cuts for rich people'" bull____?

The 2023-2024 Operating Budget was $42.1 Billion. The 2024-2025 Operating Budget is $47.2 Billion, both numbers admittedly according to Google AI. I used to read the budgets themselves, but got lazy.

There's plenty of money. Tax cuts "for rich people" isn't the problem.

Don’t forget every “feel good” tax exemption that the masses blindly vote for, never considering the consequences. Full disclosure, I’m in one of those groups, only learned that when I retired.

What nightmare PR for ULM

Who needs enemies when you have Castille as pres. I’m sure it won’t take much for Hartwell to sing like a bird to media outlets around the SBC.

No, literally just the rich people. They cut taxes for the highest bracket. They increased taxes on the lowest bracket.

And this was despite the fact that poor people already paid a higher effective tax rate than rich people in this state.

This is what Castille was hired to do. The old president couldn’t balance the budget because he couldn’t bring himself to do what Castille is doing.

I hope we can suffer in silence then if we're going to be getting our own Castille.
