Message: [QUOTE="ISUnorth, post: 4743384, member: 11911"] Priorities, man, priorities. Louisiana, ranked at the bottom of the country in economy, crime, education, infrastructure and health care, voted $100M to renovate their arena. Governor wanted a new library for LSU but legislature prioritized the arena even though LSU didn't request that for their budget. Seems if the arena was THAT important the athletic department could have funded it via loans and paid it off with revenue and donations. To paraphrase the ending of the movie Chinatown "Forget it, Jack, it's Louisiana."
