Saying cementing Louisiana’s place in the cyber future is one of his top priorities, Gov. Bobby Jindal today pledged a special session of the Legislature to spend the state’s surplus, with its promise of $50 million to the Cyber Innovation Center topping his list.

“We’re going to have a second special session to spend the state surplus,” Jindal said at the Center’s groundbreaking. “The first 50 million we’ll spend out of that surplus, my commitment to you, will be for the Cyber Command, right here.
