\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve learned my lesson,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he said during a news conference outside the Governor\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Mansion.<\/p>\n
However, Jindal said he still plans to allow the pay raise to become law.<\/p>\n
Vetoing the bill would give legislators a reason to reverse his initiatives, including changes to the state\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ethics laws, he said.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Everybody knows it would be in my own self-interest politically to veto this bill,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d probably be the most popular governor in modern polling history if I did that.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Jindal said he will be more proactive in the future.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Going forward, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re certainly going to keep a much tighter rein on the Legislature in future sessions,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Jindal said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
My thoughts:<\/strong><\/p>\n I’ve learned my lesson, actually lessons also: 2) He might say he cares for the State, but if he doesn’t veto this raise, what he says are only words and those words are meaningless.<\/p>\n 3) I will NOT vote or SUPPORT Bobby in the next election or in any other candidacy or ticket he might be on in the future.\u00c2\u00a0 What an embarrassment to our State.<\/p>\n Observation: <\/strong>Bobby Jindal was suppose to be the reform governor for the State of Louisiana. Six months into his “reform,” the law makers make a raid on the treasury and he HAS the power to stop them, but choses not to stop them.\u00c2\u00a0 Sounds like the kind of reform we really need, huh?<\/p>\n I don’t normally leave my comments open, but I will for a while on this topic, so feel free to share your opinion.<\/p>\n E-mail Bobby and let him know what you think!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I titled this blog post, Louisiana Political Reform?\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe it should have been, “Business as Usual in Louisiana” I usually try to stay away from blogging about politics, but something is happening in Louisiana that just infuriates me, so feel … Continue reading
