BATON ROUGE – The Jindal administration says the House version of next year’s budget will do great harm to health care and higher education.

Republicans in the House disagree, saying the $268 million in reductions in Jindal’s budget won’t harm critical services in either area.

Those lawmakers forced removal of one-time funds from the spending plan and said the cuts can come from salaries, travel expenses, contracts and other areas and not harm either the education or health care missions.

College and health care officials say steep cuts will be necessary to meet the budget demand should it pass the Senate in its current form.
