Governor Bobby Jindal has finally vetoed the legislative pay raises. It is about damn time. The people of this state, the same people that overwhelmingly elected him had to pull him kicking and screaming over to our side of the issue.
I firmly believe that it was the threat of a recall that gave him a spine. In getting a spine, it may cost him some of his agenda. If the things that he proposes meet with the peoples approval, he needs to let us take care of our repsective legislators. These people are geedy and selfserving. They are not there to work for the good of the people that elected them, they are there to put more and more featheres in their respective caps. It has been this way for forty plus years.
The Governor needs to keep a stiff upper lip and to continue to fight for the reforms that he promised when he was running as 'campaign' Bobby.
