I have read that it is not clear why the governor thinks that these changes are permanent. I am very interested in understanding who is right on this one.

Does it really matter? The LA state legislature could pass a law that would meet the stimulus requirements and then sunset in a year or two, resulting in minimal impact on LA businesses.

This whole thing is about politics and running for the presidency. Jindal could give a damn about the citizens of LA.

Accepting the stimulus money doesn't directly require permanent increases in state spending, but once the state starts covering more people, politically its very difficult to stop, just because the feds are no longer covering it.
