Bobby J. Vetos Legislator Pay Raise
Well it looks like Governor Bobby Jindal seems to have grown a pair of nuts this past weekend. This morning he vetoed the Louisiana legislators' 200% pay raise. I am glad he decided to listen to the will of the people but the statements he made in the last two week have tarnished his image. Instead of looking like an ass-kicking reform governor he looks like someone that caved to pressure. Not the best image you want to make for yourself in the first six months of your governorship.

Governor Jindal Will Still Let The LA Legislature Push Him Around
Statement from Governor Bobby Jindal on Legislative Pay Raise Vote in House

BATON ROUGE - Today, Governor Bobby Jindal released the following statement on the pay raise vote in the House;
"I still disapprove of this pay raise. While I'm glad they reduced it, it's still more than a doubling of their pay, which I believe is excessive. The legislature is a separate branch of government and must manage their own affairs. There is still time for them to turn back. They will have to answer directly to the people.
"One thing is for sure, I will not bail them out on this and do their job for them. I will not veto this as it is very clear to everyone that the result would be a grinding halt to the tremendous reforms and progress our state is making. I will give them no excuse to stop doing the people's business, and I will not allow the momentum of our state to stop over this or anything else."
