The Lens’ Tyler Bridges joins the program to discuss the Governor’s budget and the issues that Congress takes issue with, including one-time money. Congress’ budget eliminates most one-time money, and Governor Jindal seems to support many parts of the Congessional budget.

And what will the Pels do at the small forward position? Will they draft one in the NBA draft or will they pick the best player available?
