The state did not PLAN for more revenue from gas! They base their budget projections as does any other state on averages and a lot is oil and gas taxes to be exact... In addition, no one expected the Stock Market to collapse the past 6 months as it did driving Oil below the magic number where they make money thus driving them to cut back on new projects, which in turns drops state revenue.
These cuts will affect additional hirings, academic building projects and things of that nature more than anything.. Athletics will be fine because schools like Mcneese have great booster and fan support...
