Hahaha… Our Governor has screwed himself over for the next four years. Our legislature wanted to pass a bill that would give them a pay raise. They just passed one for themselves either last year or the year before. Anyway, Governor Bobby Jindal said before he was elected to office that he would not support a pay raise for our legislature. Alright, good boy.
Well, over the past week or so he said that he would not veto the bill, which means… You guessed it, he went back on his word. Shocking isn’t it? So over the past few days voters have been calling in and getting the recall packets. Right now they are going after four legislative members and Jindal himself. Well, in order to make himself look better, Mr. Jindal vetoed the bill yesterday around noon. Wonderful how politicians will fillip flop as quickly as they do.
But remember, there is still that recall packet out there to get Jindal out of office. And I quote from the Advocate, “The Secretary of State's Office issued a correction Monday on the number of voters whose signatures are needed to force a recall: one-third of voters deemed "active" by election officials.” But here is the thing, and kinda side with my dad on this one. Anything Jindal wishes to pass through the legislature he will not get it passed. They will be sore for the next four years. BUT, who says that the next guys is going to be any better? One of the two lesser evils. Man I love politics -_- We shall see how this pans out.

State politics is the funniest thing outside of federal politics. I can't believe your governor did that.
