Bobby “transparency” Jindal not accessable to some
WWL reported that Juan Lafonta is complaining that Bobby Jindal is refusing to meet with the Legislative Black Caucus even though they have sent 3 letters to him requesting a meeting.
If Bobby Jindal was really different, as he tried to claim, he would meet with everyone regardless of party. Of course, as I have said from day one, Bobby Jindal is far from “different”.
More on this story as it comes out.
Update 1: LaFonta is apparently having the same problems with certain legislators as I am having. He criticized Karen Carter Peterson, Cedric Richmond, and J.P. Morrell for backing Republican Jim Tucker instead of Don Cazayoux for the House Speakership. He claims that they are trying to gain control of the caucus in order to back Jindal. I have previously criticized Peterson and the other Democrats for being selfish and putting their own power above the needs of Democrats statewide. The issue of LaFonta not getting access has not gotten much coverage.
