BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - The state's annual construction budget bill, which details $4.7 billion in multiyear spending plans,
received final passage before lawmakers ended their regular session.
Louisiana has a cap on annual borrowing that will limit spending on construction projects to an estimated $320 million in the
2010-11 year that begins July 1. That money will cover ongoing projects, items given lines of credit in previous years and new
projects.
