hb1: central louisiana legislators vote against removing non-governmental organization funding - and are in fact for slushfunds

democrats and republicans agree: scamming pays
mother of all scams: louisiana state legislators laundering $80 million tax-payer dollars (so far) to their non-governmental organization pals

c.b. forgotston informs us today, excerpt:
Thursday, the State Operating Budget ( HB1) was approved by the LA House of Representatives.

Slush protected

An effort was made by Rep. Joseph Lopinto, R-Metairie, to remove all the slush funds/NGOs from the budget. His amendment was defeated by a vote of 19 YEAS, 80 NAYS and 5 Absent. A YEA vote is to REMOVE the slush funds and NAY vote is to KEEP the slush funds.

You ain’t seen nothing yet

There’s more to come. Not only will the Senate add more slush/NGOs to the Operating Budget, but there is more non-state/slush/NGOs in the Capital Outlay Budget ( HB2) that was also approved yesterday by the House.

Wait until you see what is being built with your tax dollars. There’s 57 pages of them listed! ~ read more
