He proved to be the biggest failure as governor in my lifetime. All the hype in the world but couldn't produce due to his aspirations to hold higher offices.

Great at running his mouth and low on action.
It's a no.

We probably wont because of the citizens of this state.

I mean we live by the let the good times roll.

When 40% of the population is constantly a victim and cares not for education, you will end up last on many lists.

The SAVE Act alone should be enough by itself to disqualify him from ever winning another conservative race.

For those who weren't around or don't remember, the SAVE Act was Jindal's brainchild solution for balancing the budget before leaving office.

What it did was assess a fee of about $1,500 per higher education student (which ultimately went to the Board of Regents, if memory servers) in order to help balance the budget by raising about $350 million total, but only on paper. Students didn't have to pay anything because an offsetting tax credit for the same amount would be signed over to the Board. This then created the appearance of there being $350M in assets when none existed.

Legalized money-laundering to avoid admitting he fricked up in the way he repealed Stelly (which swapped an increase in personal income taxes for a decrease in certain sales taxes, Jindal just repealed the personal tax increase thus creating a shortfall once Katrina money and the extra funds from $100/barrel oil was all used up).

That was the height of sophistic gimmickry! He didn't want to raise tuition fees because it would like a tax increase, and that would "look bad."

JBE comes in next year, straight-up raises taxes and gets reelected.

Yeah, pretty much. This was the "original sin" he committed. Though, and this doesn't get much play, he opposed that plan until the legislature demonstrated they had the votes to pass it over his objections. Then he jumped to the front of the line, pushing it. And thus made no one happy.

No matter what anyone says it has been nothing but decline since him in leadership. He'd be the best we have had since him.

This he did. I remember the pro-Jindal PAC (chaired by Rolfe McCollister) running radio ads for months after the BUDDY SHAW Bill was signed, claiming Bobby Jindal gave the largest income tax break in Louisiana history.

And…John Bel Edwards signed on as a co-sponsor of the Shaw Bill (after it passed), though you never heard that from the Democrat Party as they ran ads in the 2015 race trashing Republicans for that “tax break for the rich”.
