Gulley Earns Juris Doctor from Stanford PAGE 3

The state budget passedin this year’s legislativesession despite a bill thatstate Rep. Gene Reynoldscalls “smoke and mirrors.”

The SAVE bill, which isan educational tax credit,does nothing for citizenswho might file for thededuction on their incometaxes, he says.

“The one and only pur-pose was for (Gov.) BobbyJindal to go here in a few

weeks and go on TV andsay that he did not raisetaxes, whichin fact hedid,”Reynoldssaid. “It setsa really badpolicyprecedentbecause infuture years,future gov-ernors can use this to raisetaxes to however much

they want to.”He explained the Stu-

dent Assessment for aValuable Education bill, orSAVE, is a higher educa-tion tax credit that is rev-enue neutral – no moneychanges hands.

“They came up withthis idea that we’re goingto give each student a$1,600 tax credit,” he said.“But we’re not going togive it to them. We’re goingto give it to the Board of

Regents. So, the parentsnever get any tax rebateon anything. The Board ofRegents is a tax exemptorganization, and theynever get any moneyeither, because the moneythat they were going to getanyway was already in thebudget from our fundingbill.

Changes are coming tobus routes provided by theWebster Parish Communi-ty Services.

Effective July 1, all tripswill be one way, eliminat-ing the former round triprates.

Executive DirectorMary Whitaker says thechange will help riderswith cost and scheduling.

“The reason for thechange is that some pas-sengers only wanted andneeded to ride one way.Previously, they had to payfor a round trip, becausethat was all we offered,”Whitaker said. “The

change will also allow rid-ers to havemore flexi-bility inchoosinghow theywant toscheduletheir rides.”

Monthlybus passeswill remain at $60 a month

and riders who purchasethe pass will not be affect-ed by the change Whitakersays.

Trips to the Shreveportarea remain unchanged.

Transportation servicesare provided from 6 a.m.until 6 p.m. Monday thruFriday excluding holidays.

hurt anybody, but it didn’thelp anybody either,” hecontinued. “It just set abad policy precedent. Itwas a smoke and mirrorsgame where by which Jin-dal could say we had taxcredits…that were neverthere really.”

No one ever answeredthe question if parents

would have to file the taxcredit on their incometaxes either, he said.

The House and the Sen-ate agreed to pass thestate’s $25 billion budget,plugging a $900 milliondeficit. The House voted59-43, of which Reynoldswas among those whovoted against the budget,and the Senate voted infavor by a vote of 30 to 9.

“I just couldn’t makemyself vote for smoke andmirrors,” he said. “I just

had to draw a line some-where and say it’s a matterof principle.”

Reynolds made it clearwhile higher educationand healthcare was fund-ed at last year’s amounts,the budget was cut acrossthe board, and it will hurtseveral departments, cut-ting many jobs.

They did raise the ciga-rette tax and cut back onsome of the rebates thathave been given for manyyears, he says.

Reynolds alluded to thefact that a special sessioncould be called in Januaryto begin repairing thebudget’s structure. Thestructure of the budget iswhere the problem lies, hesays.

“We’ve got to changethe structure of the budg-et,” he said. “The structureof the budget is fixed sothat your hands are tied,you cannot move moneyand you cannot prioritizethings. Capital outlay is a

mess; the whole structureof the budget has got to bechanged going forward ifwe’re ever going to get outof this mess that we’re in.”

If they don’t, he says,the budget is going to have

a shortfall of $1.8 billion

again. They used “one-

time money” again to plug

the holes in the budget,

and that has to change as

well, he says.

NEW ORLEANS — Theflooding Red River in ruralnorthwest Louisiana isreaching levels not seensince the 1940s, sendingpeople scrambling to pro-tect their homes, propertyand livestock.

Along the river on Fri-day, family, friends, neigh-bors and volunteerspitched in to build sand-bag walls. The effort hasbeen going on for about aweek, as the river hasswelled from massiverains that hit neighboringTexas and Oklahoma.

The river had recededonly an inch since Thurs-day. That left residentsfaced with the prospect ofcontinued sandbagging ofhomes and property. TheNational Weather Servicepredicts the river willslowing fall over the nextweek.

In a new gated com-munity in southeastShreveport, homeownerssaid an army of peoplehas showed up to help.

Floodwaters had trav-eled a half-mile to reachthe new homes in thearea, called Les MaisonsSur La Rouge subdivision.

"I met my neighbor forthe first time as we bothworked to save ourhomes," Jasen Bragg said.

Nearby, in BossierParish, officials said twoor three dozen houses andabout the same numberof mobile homes wereflooded.

Lt. Bill Davis with thesheriff's office said Fridaythat he was at the RiverBluff subdivision, justnorth of Bossier City,where 14 of the 24 homeshad 3 to 7 feet of water inthem. Homes range inprice from $500,000 to $1million, he said.

Davis said manyhomeowners put up agood fight, but the "dirtyred water was too muchfor some."

Davis said it would beawhile before the waterrecedes, but that's when

the real work starts incleanup and rebuilding.

Bucky Croach said his4-foot wall kept his homein Les Maisons Sur LaRouge dry.

"The water came with-in a few inches from mywall's top," Croach said.

Croach said he wasthankful for all the help.

"People brought food,water, pumps and even agenerator," he said."These are people I havenever seen before."

Mary McDaniel stoodinside a home that herfather, Curtis Lofton, wasbuilding. She's been usinga boat to get to the house.

"My father was a weekaway from getting this6,000-square-foot homeready for this weekend'shome show," she said.

One of Lofton's work-ers, Marces Carter, said,"We'll clean up when thewater goes down and fin-ish up this house."

and sometimes you seethings you haven’t seen allyear, or for years,” saidLSU coach Paul Mainieri.“We just had a couple ofmissed plays there, and theygot clutch hits, and thingsjust kind of spiraled out ofcontrol for us.

“So, what we’re going todo is regroup. We have apractice day tomorrow.We’ll get ready to playagain on Tuesday, whoeverwe play, whether it’sVanderbilt of Fullerton.We’ll regain our composureand our poise and confi-dence, most importantly,and get ready to play onTuesday. We know we’re amuch better team than whatwe demonstrated today.”

In the bottom of thethird, the Tigers looked toget an early lead when JaredFoster singled to left, stolesecond and tried to score ona single to shallow centerfield by Jake Fraley.However, Foster wasthrown out at home plate ona perfect throw from TCUcenterfielder Cody Jonesand a block of home plateby catcher Evan Skoug.

After retiring the firstnine Horned Frogs he faced,LSU starter Jared Poche' (9-2) put himself in a jam inthe fourth by committingtwo throwing errors. Bothruns came around to scoreon singles by Connor

Wanhanen and DaneSteinhagen to give TCU a 2-0 lead.

In the fifth, Poche' loadedthe pases with a pair of walksand a single. With the infieldin, Hale was unable to handlea hard grounder at third baseand TCU's third run scored.

The way Max Scherzerwas pitching, theMilwaukee Brewerswere going to need abit of luck to get any-one on base.

They got it -- barely.Scherzer struck out a

Nationals-record 16and threw a one-hitter,losing his perfect-gamebid on Carlos Gomez'sbroken-bat, bloop sin-gle in the seventhinning as Washingtonbeat the Brewers 4-0Sunday.

"I was able to exe-cute every pitch for themost part where I want-ed to," Scherzer said.

Gomez opened theseventh with a looperto shallow right fieldthat just fell inchesbeyond the out-stretched glove of sec-ond baseman AnthonyRendon. Gomez said he"got lucky" to get thathit off Scherzer.

"I wouldn't imaginethat that's going to bethe last opportunitythat he's going to haveto do something spe-cial," Nationals manag-er Matt Williams said.

Cost of StanleyCup tickets soars

Just getting into theUnited Center to poten-tially watch theChicago Blackhawkswin their first StanleyCup on home ice since1938 could cost morethan $1,000.

And that's not evenfor a seat.

Less than an hourafter the Blackhawkswon Game 5 over theTampa Bay Lightningin Tampa on Saturdaynight, the resale priceon StubHub for astanding room onlyseat in Chicago forMonday night's Game6 was north of $1,000.

Those numbers haveheld through Sunday.As of 9 a.m. ET onSunday, the cheapestticket that comes with aseat for Game 6 of theStanley Cup finals was$1,979.

Standing room onlyseats have a face valueof $140. Upper goalsection seats, that havea single-game facevalue of $285, are list-ed on StubHub for$2,445 each. Club levelcenter tickets that havea face value of $650are listed for $4,816each, and the cheapesttickets right up againstthe glass, with a facevalue of $1,200, arelisted at more than$10,000 apiece.

"Aside from whenthe Bears were in theSuper Bowl against theColts, these are num-bers that are reminis-cent of the MichaelJordan days," said MaxWaisvisz, partner inChicago-based broker-age Gold CoastTickets.

"There are peoplecalling who have neverspent a dollar on hock-ey in Chicago and theyjust want to be there,"Waisvisz said. "That'swhat really drives theprice up."

LSU falls to TCU, 10-3

LeBron not enough for surging WarriorsN B A F I N A L S

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)— LeBron James soakedhis tired feet in an ice bath,had ice wrapped aroundboth knees and his back ashe sat smiling inCleveland's locker roomafter a second straight lossin the NBA Finals.

While the Cavaliers'chances at winning it all aredwindling, James' confi-dence is not.

"I feel confident because

I'm the best player in theworld," he said. "It's thatsimple."

It just hasn't beenenough for a depletedCavaliers team against themuch deeper Golden StateWarriors.

James had 40 points, 14rebounds and 11 assists inthe second highest scoringtriple-double in finals histo-ry but the Cavaliers lost104-91 to the Warriors on

Sunday night to fall behind3-2 in the series.

James had more points,rebounds or assists thananybody on either team. Heplayed center, point guardand everywhere in between.The only thing Jamescouldn't quite do was willthe Cleveland Cavaliers to avictory in Game 5 of theNBA Finals.

Despite the stellar night,James said he could still do

more, citing a couple ofoffensive rebounds heallowed, some blowndefensive assignments andturnovers.

"I don't put a ceiling onwhat I'm capable of doing,"he said. "I know I'm shoul-dering a lot of the burden,but it is what it is."

James is now runningout of time to find enoughhelp to lead Cleveland to itsfirst major sports title in 51years. Game 6 will beTuesday night in Clevelandwith the series set to returnto Oakland on Friday if aseventh game is needed.

"We've got enough towin it," James said. "Weprotect home we comehere. We'll worry aboutTuesday first. But if weprotect home like we'recapable of doing, we force aGame 7."

With All-Stars KyrieIrving and Kevin Love andfellow starter AndersonVarejao sidelined byinjuries, James has been aone-man band this series.He is averaging 36.6 points,12.4 rebounds and 8.8assists through five games.He had 39 points in a triple-double in a Game 2 win andbacked that up with anotherbrilliant performanceSunday.

Only Jerry West in 1969has scored more points in atriple-double in finals histo-ry with 42. West was alsothe only member of a losingteam to win finals MVP, aclub that James might soonjoin the way this series isheaded.

"LeBron has beentremendous is even anunderstatement for howhe's played in the series,"coach David Blatt said. "Hehad another one of thosedays today. Under the cur-rent set of circumstances,that's what we've got to get,and he's bringing it. Youdon't see that every day,what he's doing."

James' night could besummed up in one stretch

of the fourth quarter. Jamesgave the Cavs their last leadof the game with a long 3-pointer that made it 80-79with 7:47 to go.

But MVP Stephen Curryanswered with an evenlonger 3 for the 20th leadchange of the game andKlay Thompson followed amiss by James with another3 that put the Warriors upby five with a lead theywould never relinquish.

James got some earlyhelp from J.R. Smith, whohit four 3-pointers in thefirst half before turningcold once again and makingno baskets in the final 33minutes.

"We kept going to him,"James said. "He just missedsome shots. He came outaggressive, which we want-ed him to do. We kept find-ing him. He started off well,he just cooled down. It's justa make or miss league."

Tristan Thompson pro-vided a lift in the secondhalf but Game 4 starTimofey Mozgov was limit-ed to less than 10 minutes asboth teams went to smalllineups and no one elsestepped up.

Mozgov's absencehelped Golden State win therebounding battle, includingfive offensive rebounds inthe fourth quarter.

"It's definitely deflatingto our defense," Thompsonsaid. "They take some toughshots that you don't see toooften, so we've got to findour man, box him out."

At one point, Jamesscored or assisted on 17straight baskets made byCleveland in a stretch of22:35 that started early inthe first quarter and went allthe way past halftime. Manyof those baskets came whenJames was playing center asboth Thompson andMozgov sat.

Matthew Dellavedovamade the only two basketsup to that point that Jameswasn't involved in but didn'thit another all game.
