It's a miracle he fooled so many people in La. into believing his "Louisiana Miracle." https://t.co/vTDQFSUWG2

.@kjplotkin @elizabethcrisp Thanks, Kyle. Didn't know you were a lawyer.

.@elizabethcrisp What's @kjplotkin current status? Back on state payroll?

.@JSODonoghue Same #leges will claim to be shocked over the size of shortfall for FY17 that they created & will make worse on Friday.

.@JSODonoghue #Lalege is about to hoist itself on its own petard.

[C.B. Forgotston @CBForgot]

#Lalege will be hoisted on its own petard as most will be returning next term. You can't make this stuff up!

Jindal is using $300M in one-time funds to fix a deficit partially caused by using one-time money. #Lalege will rubber stamp on Friday.

[C.B. Forgotston @CBForgot]

.@MelindaDeslatte Jindal also using 1-time funds to fix problem caused by use of 1-time funds. Time bomb for new governor.

[C.B. Forgotston @CBForgot]

.@JSODonoghue Thanks. The use of more 1-time funds to fix hole in budget looks like a potential fiscal land mine to me. #Lalege

[C.B. Forgotston @CBForgot]

More one-time revenues to fix holes from one-time revenues.

[C.B. Forgotston @CBForgot]

Could this effort actually be a fiscal land mine for his successor? Bobby doesn't like either candidate. #Lalege https://t.co/etlc4h5jCH

.@MelindaDeslatte @AP It's likely Jindal revenue gimmicks will turn into fiscal land mines for his successor.

[C.B. Forgotston @CBForgot]

.@JSODonoghue @ATuozzolo If I was a gubernatorial candidate, I would be wary of Jindal's budget fixes turning into fiscal land mines.
