Gov. Bobby Jindal: Four reasons to be happy about results of the 2013 legislative session "First, we produced a balanced budget that invests in our priorities, doesn’t raise taxes and includes nearly $70 million in increased funding for K-12 education. Second, this year’s budget continues to fund the historic education reforms we passed last year. Third, the state budget does not include any tax increases. Fourth and finally, we worked with the Legislature to reject Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion in Louisiana that would cost taxpayers up to $1.7 billion, put 41 percent of the state’s population in a welfare program and move 248,000 people from private insurance. Our work is paying off. However, this is not the time to declare victory. Our work is not done yet. We will continue to swing for the fences and pursue bold reforms so we can make Louisiana the best place in the world to find a job, raise a family and pursue your dreams."
