OPINION

The breathtaking victory of the New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl on Sunday is a victory for the team, the city of New Orleans, and the state of Louisiana.
We’re glad that LSU officials have reversed a decision to cancel the university’s hosting of the local regional science fair and the state science fair. I read with interest The Advocate’s editorial regarding transparency at LSU. Similar claims could be made about the university administration’s handling of the series of budget cuts that have come down from the governor and Legislature in the last 18 months. There will NEVER be enough! Not long ago when the economy was soaring, every progressive institution, government agency and special-interest group (public or private) positioned themselves to gain a slice of the taxpayer-financed money pie. I read with interest the detailed article in the Dec. 1 Advocate relative to Ms. Laura Lee Harris’ courtroom experience, of which I was unaware. Way back on Nov. 20, Gov. Bobby Jindal said what he thought without regard to the political consequences. This rare event occurred on CNN, when he was interviewed about criticism of U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., for pushing a fix of Louisiana’s Medicaid funding problem via an amendment to the giant Senate health-care bill. |
