re: LDWF thinking of suing Jindal over raid of Rigs to Reefs fund

Jindal's math problem is that the first thing he did was significantly cut the income tax, eliminating what was a budget balanced between income and expenditures. As a (absolutely foreseeable)result, the state is bankrupt. To cover he has sold off state assets and services, and now we have to pay more to have for-profit private industry provide what are reduced services. Despite his fire-sale of buildings, land, programs and everything else, the budget continues to go up each year. With nothing left to sell or give away, he is raiding funds which were dedicated to doing needed things like the reef program.

Jindal is a disaster. He's like a worker who quits his job (eliminating income) and then goes on a shopping spree by selling off his grandmother's car, jewelry and house.

I'm a Republican. I voted for Jindal over Blanco. I voted for Jindal after Blanco. Now I really regret it. The guy is a disaster and now he's starting to raid the fishing grounds. This has finally hit home.

The little skinny fricker needs to stay out of the damn reef fund though.

I thought this was what we were talking about.

Fortunately the quality of my life has nothing to do with who is in the Gov. Mansion in B.R. Things are better because I am better.

Raiding anything related to the coast or reefs is about the only thing he can do to make things worse for me.

By the time my kids are in college, Jindal will either have completely destroyed and sold off the colleges or his successor will have saved them. I think they will get saved down the road, after Jindal is gone.

Yet despite all of the doomsday havoc he's brought upon our state... we have a balanced budget and have grown job growth thru the worst recession in our country's history. The horror.

You attribute that to Bobby Jindal? Serious question

He's the HC of the football team. He gets the credit and the blame. Of course our oil and gas industry has been strong...but I can think of about 482 other politicians that could have easily fricked our industries sideways trying to deal with the catastrophic blows to our economy and state revenues. LA has a very positive atmosphere for business's to grow, move into state and prosper...so yes, give his administration props for fostering this. Is he singularly responsible? Of course not...But Bill Clinton didn't frick up the 90's .com bubble either.

Same here.

I pray for Cat 5 hurricane's every 5 years or so... Just kidding people, just kidding.

I feel like I'm on the Rant critiquing Miles and the pumpers are trying to tell me "Well who do you want to be head coach?"

Except I'm the opposite here. Who would have done a better job as governor than Jindal?

This one disicion seems a little boneheaded but I'm talking big picture. His record overall. Who would you have liked to seen in office the past two terms?

Eta: Miles*
