Crain warns of spending freeze - Emily Stephan, Southeastern Louisiana Lion's Roar

Though the state of Louisiana’s chilly climate is slowly thawing out as spring approaches, its budget is about to get icy. Earlier in the month, Governor Bobby Jindal ruled that state agencies must undergo a temporary spending freeze, which has been stirring up discussion and attention, even here at the university. “There have been a number of articles in the media lately about concerns regarding the State budget for the current fiscal year,” said President John Crain in a press release. “Accordingly, over this past weekend, we learned that late on April 4, Jindal had issued an executive order enacting a freeze on spending by state agencies.” http://www.lionsroarnews.com/news/crain-warns-of-spending-freeze-1.3160914#.U1MUCVVdWdc
