BATON ROUGE — Two Jefferson Parish lawmakers lodged a legal challenge Tuesday against the state’s $25 billion budget, asking a judge to declare its patchwork financing a violation of Louisiana’s Constitution.
Republican Reps. Kirk Talbot and Cameron Henry filed the lawsuit, which is the latest salvo in an ongoing dispute that conservative House Republicans have with GOP Gov. Bobby Jindal over his use of one-time funding to pay for ongoing programs and services in state government.
“We’re asking for a declaration as to what the budget rules are and how they apply,” said lawyer Kyle Keegan, who is representing Kirk Talbot and Cameron Henry.
