« The Jindal veto, he’s no hero.

To Jindal, old people are Pork.

The Lower Algiers Senior Center is one of those places effected by Jindal’s pulling the plug on “NGO” funding. WWL news tonight had a story that the LASC, as well as other senior centers. They are covered by the New Orleans Council on Aging (a group that falls under the administration). However, the budget to run those centers are based on old figures and the rest of the money comes from the NGO funding that Jindal got rid of with his veto pen.

As citizens, we cannot allow Jindal to get away with this. I understand cutting actual pork. This is NOT pork. If 500 people donated $50 bucks, the LASC could stay open. If everyone in every community where a senior center was being closed down chipped in, we could help keep all of them open.

Send me an email at dan@lj4a.com if you would like to make a pledge of support.

    Hi,

    You are right.
    This is a big loss. I think people must care for these things.
    If they could denote a little then the center could not be closed.
