Jindal administration to announce $129 million in cuts; colleges and health care expected to take big hits - Jeff Adelson, Times-Picayune

Nichols did not go into specifics about where the cuts will come Thursday. However, the only two areas of significant spending that are not protected by law or the state constitution are the state's colleges and health care programs. Those services have already been battered by previous cuts, both due reductions at the state level and because of a reduction in the state's federal reimbursement for Medicaid expenditures. "The only thing that's off the table is raising taxes," Nichols said. http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2012/12/jindal_administration_to_annou.html
