A sad commentary on Louisiana politics
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008Steve at Bayou Buzz asked some legislators about the pay raise issue. A Republican legislator who is nameless posed this possibility:
One Republican legislator told me that then candidate Jindal really probably did not even know that the legislative raise platform was in the written campaign material.
That is a sad commentary on the state of Louisiana politics. What is even more sad is that with how much Jindal is “handled” by Timmy and Sellers that the idea is actually believable as well.
If that is the lengths you have to go when you run for office, if you have to let other people right your platform for you in order to win, then I guess I will never win an election ever because I would refuse to let campaign advisers tell me what my platform was going to be.
