Seems the Governor supported over $24 million in earmarks that will be financed by state debt and thus were included not in HB1 but in HB2. You can see a sample list at Forgotston’s site.

Another proud day for Jindalicans. Bobby buys more votes with our money.

Now can someone make a factual case this guy is a conservative for me? I need to understand that fallacy.

(I know Huey it’s the SOS---it is bad that this is all that comes out of the governor’s office isn’t it?)

I suppose from looking at the list that debt financed earmarks were not held to the Jindal standard of regional importance, ect. I mean it is darn important that Lone Vue Gardens gets some money from those folks in Farmerville and Mamou because it means so much to them.

Long Vue Gardens is a nonprofit of the high society Jindalican crowd.  It’s neighbors complain every now and then when sounds of the waltz bands at the tea socials carry over into the neighborhood’s acre-sized backyards.

Nope.  Don’t even think it.  Not the governor.  He has a job to do (God bless him and help keep him focused on governing and not on imposing his personal religious interpretations on the rest of us) while I’m just a moderate gadfly ... which in Louisiana they call “liberal.” --Faux Bobby Jindal

Wonder what the salary of the head guy is there and I wonder if he was a contributor???

Knowing that you are a cheap vote he is just giving you more days to pay your gas bill.
