At issue is a largely philosophical disagreement over the use of one-time money to balance the state budget during difficult financial times. Money from the sale of a hospital and other sources would be used to patch together a budget that pays for schools and prisons. For the public, the dispute is significant because the alternative to using the one-time money could be significant cuts to hospitals, colleges and other state services. State Rep. Brett Geymann, R-Lake Charles, thinks relying on money that is unlikely to materialize more than once is an irresponsible way to manage state government.
