DID BOBBY SEE THE LIGHT,
OR FEEL THE HEAT?

[…] JIM’S NEW COLUMN […]
Jim I must say I enjoyed your column very much. I felt you were right on in your view of our Governor and the future of his office. I must say (getting a little off track here) that Sen. Duplessis is a prime example of what IS wrong with politics. Her narcissistic diatribe blaming Moon Griffon for the veto of her bill would be laughable if it weren’t coming from one of our own lawmakers. I only wish I could say I am shocked. Thanks for your voice..keep up the good work.
Words of wisdom.
Jim, you are right again. The
key as you said is common sense. He and his young team
may be smart book wise, but
a little wisdom and common
sense is what’s needed on the
forth floor, and the mansion.
I don’t think we have to worry
about Jindal being selected as
the VP mate for John McCain.
Keep up the good work,
Don W.
Good Article Jim.
Jindal needs to put forth the idea that he is the Governor of the people, by the people and for the people. He was elected by the people and not the legislature. He needs to put forth that idea to the legislature. He can still work with the legislature, but he needs to remember that he is the Governor and I think this is one of the first and important steps in his administration that he has done right. I think the legislature will admire him for that after they get over the idea of not getting a pay raise. We don’t need legislatures serving for the almighty dollar. We need them serving for the privilege and honor of representing their people. We don’t need legislatures that need the money. They need to have some other income source to be in the legislature. It should be required to run.
Jindal can put forth the old Huey Long idea. The people want me and I am for the people. He ran around the state like a Huey Long and got elected.
Ms. Duplessis,
After Governor Jindal’s veto of SB 672 You made a statement that Bobby Jindal has a lot to learn in dealing with the legislature.
Ms. Duplessis you have a lot to learn in dealing with the citizens of this state. Your arrogance and refusal to listen to your constituents is a travesty. It’s considered a privilege to serve the citizens of this state, it’s not a right. The citizens run this state and you have the privilege of representing and voting for their needs not yours.
I hope you listen to your bank customers and not make decisions based on what you think is best for them. Otherwise you wouldn’t be in business too long.
