An Open Letter to Gov. Bobby Jindal from State Treasurer John Kennedy.

Respectfully, please stop scaring our healthcare and higher education communities over the changes made to HB 1 by a majority vote of the Louisiana House of Representatives.  It is not necessary to make the draconian reductions to the healthcare and higher education budgets you and your staff have suggested in order to achieve the fiscally responsible goals of the House.  

Worth a read!

House Bills 1 and 822 will be the Special Orders of the Day in the House of Representatives on Thursday May 10, 2012.

A Call to Action:

Call or e-mail our state Representatives and ask them to support House Bill  822. 

This is a wonderful, heartwarming story about a 2 year-old retriever.  "The 2-year-old retriever has become a popular member of the Southeastern Louisiana University’s Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic’s team, according to members of the staff and their young clients." 

To see the original story by Bob Anderson in the Baton Rouge Advocate.
