Liberty and Justice for All!

WWL TV just reported that Bobby Jindal has let more bills pass into law without a signature than all of he predacesors since 1990 combined!

Bobby Jindal - 90

Mike Foster - 47

Buddy Roemer - 3

E.W.E./Blanco - 1 a piece

Keep in mind that Jindal has only been in office less than 6 months. Foster did his 47 in eight years.

What is the excuse of the Jindal administration? Melissa Sellers states:

 As the Governor has said all along, many bills in this session are legislative initiatives and not a part of the Administration’s agenda.

Well excuse me! I was unaware that the Governor only had to do his job on items that are part of his agenda. Are we to expect Jindal to take no action on every item that the legislature passes that is not part of his agenda? Is the day to day business of the state not important enough for Jindal to lift a hand, grab a pen, and place his name on a peice of paper. Maybe Jindal has better things to do then read bills and sign or veto them (you know, like hamming it up for the national media… for whatever reason).

So aparently, not only is Jindal spineless (since he wont stand up to the legislature about the pay raises, even though he claims to disagree with them)… he is also lazy.

That is unless the budget for pens had to be cut to afford the legislators pay raises. Maybe Jindal wants to conserve as much ink as possible. Maybe this is his way of “going green”. Or maybe he just doesn’t care about anything other than himself and his selfish ambition. I’ll go with the latter.

Update: T-P  has this as well.
