BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -
The state's legislative fiscal office's chief economist
talked about what's happening with the state's budget on Monday to the Baton
Rouge Press Club.
Greg Albright says the state's revenue's have been
"soft" since 2010. Which he admits is a surprise to him. "I wish we could get
out in front of it at least in terms of revenue," says Albright. "Relative to
revenues we have a spending problem. Relative to the budget we have a revenue
problem."
Last week the Joint Legislative Budget Committee heard from
the Jindal administration on how they planned on plugging a 166 million dollar
hole. The use of one time money and a hodge podge
Albright says one of the issues that also surprised them was
the Minimum Foundation Program or MFP."
Thirty million of the 166 [million] problem they reduced in
budget committee last week," says Albright. "There was an increase in the MFP
funding requirement because the student count went up."
