Jindal stirs up national controversy on Rail Funds

 

Our Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal is in the middle of national controversy over his administrations requests for federal funds to build a high speed rail link between New Orleans and Baton Rouge.  I personally think proposal is a good one, and the numbers should justify the expense.  The problem is that the Governor said in his panned response to the President’s State of the Union address in February that stimulus money for rail is a waste.  So this week, MSNBC’s Keith Oberman names Jindal as his “Worst Person in the World” for being a hypocrite on the funding issue.  Take a look and see what you think. Is Jindal trying to have it both ways? You can also read some of the national commentary by Clicking Here and Clicking Here.
