I thought Bobby Jindal lived in Kenner!
I mean didn’t Bobby Jindal buy a house and make his home in Kenner when he ran for election in LA01? Oh yeah, that’s right… he intended to deliver his last child in Baton Rouge. It was also reported on 99.5 FM that he put his house up for sale (by owner). And now the paragon of ethics and virtue Bobby Jindal has “established” his home back in Baton Rouge. His child is now attending the LSU Lab School. Mr. “what you know and not who you know” Jindal seems to have violated that idea yet again in using his position to get his daughter admission into this highly sought after school where only 1/3 of all applicants make it in.
Just to show the differences in the story that are listed in the article.
The school’s director, Wade Smith, said the school did not recruit Jindal’s 6-year-old daughter, Selia….However, Jindal said Monday that the lab school was one of several schools that contacted him after he won the October governor’s election.
So what is it? Did they contact him or didn’t they? More important is this statement:
In the past, the school operated on a lottery system. But LSU officials acknowledged at the time of the lottery system that a governor’s children would get special consideration because of state government’s influence on the schools’ funding.
Not who you know but what you know indeed. Seems that Louisiana politics is alive and well in Baton Rouge and that Bobby Jindal is an active participant. Oh yeah, Timmy Teepel’s kids go there as well.
And anyone thought that Jindal intended on living in Kenner after he was done with his Congressional seat was a fool.
