Senate vote last time was either 20-16 or 20-14...so it was close

IT’S TOO EARLY TO QUIT.......
I don’t see A.G. “state contract for copiers” Crowe” changing his mind.
Of course a good republican Governor of Louisiana would call his hand picked Senate President and ask the session be allowed to adjourn before a vote is taken.
Perhaps you Jindalicans could convince your boy to do just that?
It is too late for Jindal to reclaim any position as a fiscal conservative.
Of course anyone paying attention could have seen that long ago. These raises, financially, are nothing compared to the money Jindal and the leges committed to spend of our money.
We’ll deal with Jindal after the vote...we can lobby him THEN…
FOCUS ON WHAT WE CAN DO NOW...that’s key....never mind ...I’m off here to make calls to senators and e-mail...keep bit**ing on this board...I’m sure all the Senators check here before they vote....hahhahahhahah........that really makes a HUGE difference...whine on,my friend
I.B.....as usual...yOU would rather be the think you know- it- all tough guy poster complaing and bi**hing…
RATHER THAN MOVING OFF YOU CHAIR and computer IN YOUR BASEMENT, PUTTING YOUR PANTS ON AND ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING TO HELP.....
you are a fool....you’re the guy everybody hated in school....""Teacher, Teacher, Bobby didn’t.....blah,blah.etc.”
Would you, unknowing of your nemesis’s abilities, like to trade a few personal insults?
Perhaps you should just continue to ignore the facts and lob a few more childish barbs my way causing all to suspect your abilities to actually formulate proper and appropriate posts?
I can assure you that all the Senators I know understand my position on all of the Governor’s spending proposals including these pay raises. As much as you wish to ignore the facts, these pay increases are obviously part of Jindal’s, Chaisson’s and Tucker’s plan to advance the administration’s agenda. How else do you explain Jindal’s own explanation of why he will not veto the raises?
The fact is Jindal publically announced he was against the raises but would not veto it. Thus leaving two conclusions. There’s a back door deal remenisant of good ol’ Louisiana politics, or he was weak and spineless unwilling to stand up for his position. Actually caving in before it was law. You tell me what it is bottom line. He could have been the people’s hero, a man of his word, a leader. Instead he either cowardly backed down or is the mastermind on a backdoor political deal, Louisiana style. The Senate vote can’t save him either way. He should have come out against it and left it at that. He showed his hand. We all know where he where he stands.
If there weren’t any typical deals, Jindal should veto the bill and let the chaos begin. I’d love to see the results; maybe it’ll be just the feuding needed to make other voters take more interest. I don’t think there’d be that much chaos other than them overriding his veto. That wouldn’t be Jindal’s failure; rather, it would truly be the legislature’s fault and Jindal could HONESTLY and proudly say he did all he could.
If Jindal is the governor I thought he’d be, that’s just what would happen.
If he really wants to consider the legislature independent and accountable only to their constituents, why did he bother with so many vetoes already? Looking more like Foster every day!
A “legislature”? How about a “legislator” instead? Throughout this entire thread, bottom has continued to solidify my opinion of him. From his ridiculous rant against IB, who was making a valid point, to his totally amateurish ability to count votes. Anyone who thinks that there are only 20 supporters of a pay raise on the Senate floor is clearly wet-behind-the-ears when it comes to this process.
