House committee hears testimony on proposed 5% overall budget cut | Louisiana
SUMMARY: As Louisiana faces a projected budget deficit of nearly $500 million, the House Appropriations Committee heard testimony from state agencies regarding the impact of a 5% funding reduction. Officials from the Department of Child and Family Services warned that such cuts could severely limit operations, forcing the elimination of programs that support disabled individuals and affecting over 600 students in the Jobs for America’s Graduates program. The Department of Transportation cautioned that essential road maintenance would be jeopardized, while the Department of Agriculture and Forestry highlighted staffing shortages that impair wildfire management. Concerns over diminished resources were echoed throughout the testimonies.
