A similar plan has been floated by Gov. Jindal here in Louisiana. It’s the government version of the crack addict selling the TV and DVR to get money for the next fix.

What is bizarre about these arrangements is that you will now have a class of “investors” who will lobby the state to meet its contract obligations and pay its “rent” each year.
So why would you need to lobby a state to meet its contracts?
Because there just won’t be enough cash to go around—and somebody is going to get stiffed.
The legislators are going to find their pockets stuffed by these lobbylists as the state crashes and burns.
