Wait a minute.

Right now, Louisiana could care less what Bobby J. believes, but would sure like to know why he's caving so fast on his reform platform. Yep, another politician playing the politic game. So far he's in the middle of 2 bad strikes.

Kind of a long time between updates, but I see he's at least vetoed the bill to jack Louisiana legislators' pay.

The Governor had previously said he would not veto the pay raise to allow the legislature to conduct its own internal affairs. "I clearly made a mistake by telling the legislature that I would allow them to handle their own affairs," Jindal said. "As with all mistakes, you can either correct them or compound them - I am choosing to correct my mistake now.

"I have said that I was not going to stop legislators from more than doubling their own pay by vetoing this because I did not want to give them any excuse to slow down the momentum of our reform movement here in Louisiana. It turns out this is an unsustainable position. I have come to realize that the reforms I have been fighting for are simply incompatible with this legislative pay raise.

"I was trying to preserve our reform agenda and our momentum by tolerating this legislative pay raise that I knew was completely excessive. But the two cannot coexist.

"The bottom line is that allowing this excessive legislative pay raise to become law would so significantly undercut our reform agenda, and so significantly diminish the people's confidence in their own government, that I cannot let it become law. So, I have vetoed the bill."

Gotta like a politician who can admit when he's wrong.
